237 | Galit Lipa: The Fight to Get California to View Public Defense as a Public Good and not a Private Luxury

Today, Hunter is joined by the newest State Public Defender of California, Galit Lipa. As discussed on previous episodes, California has a county based public defender system. As such, Galit and her office sit in a limited role to help train public defenders around the state. Following a law suit and several reports highlighting the failings of public defense in California, Galit and her team could prove to be a pivotal voice in rethinking the delivery of California public defense.   Guests: Galit Lipa, State Public Defender, California Office of the State Public Defender   Resources: Contact Galit https://www.linkedin.com/in/galit-lipa/ OSPD https://www.ospd.ca.gov/ https://www.ospd.ca.gov/ospd-sharepoint-pages/     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
