128: Fostering the Public Voice of the Public Defender w/Kay Levine and Russell Gold

Today, Hunter spoke with two law professors, Kay Levine and Russell Gold, to discuss their law review article calling for an increase in the public advocacy of public defenders. As a natural extension of the main goals of the show, Hunter loved exploring the potential political power public defenders could wield if they were more vocal. Interestingly as well, both Kay and Russell offered important juxtapositions between public defenders, prosecutors, and corporate attorneys and the way each engages with public advocacy out of the court room.     Guests: Kay Levine, Professor of Law, Emory Law School Russell Gold, Professor of Law, Alabama University School of Law   Resources: Public Voice of the Defender Law Review Article https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4416723  Kay's Article on the FL Prosecutors https://news.bloomberglaw.com/white-collar-and-criminal-law/discriminatory-policy-pinned-on-wall-should-shock-all-prosecutors Kay's Professor Page https://law.emory.edu/faculty/faculty-profiles/levine-profile.html Russell Gold Professor Page https://www.law.ua.edu/directory/People/view/Russell_Gold     Contact Hunter Parnell: [email protected]  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN
