Recorded at the Adult Discussion Class at St. James Lutheran Church, this episode is centered on the career of Kristin Rice who recently retired as the Chief Public Defender of Adams County in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. She defined and described the role of the Public Defender’s Office: the type of cases the office must take, the unique structure of the Pennsylvania Public Defenders Office, and the caseloads of the lawyers in the office (from DUI and immigration to death row). Listeners will be privy to two cases that illustrate the work of the Public Defender’s Office and highlights her 21 years as the county’s chief Public Defender.
