The Public Defender Corps is a program that recruits dedicated legal professionals to serve as public defenders, who provide free legal defense for individuals unable to afford private attorneys. These corps members work within the public defense system, ensuring fair trials and access to justice for all, regardless of economic status. Typically, theycommit to a set term of service, often in underserved or high-need areas, helping to strengthen the justice system and ensure that everyone’s legal rights are protected.
