INVITES YOU TO APPLY FOR

ATTORNEY I 
PUBLIC DEFENDER

EQUITY COMMITMENT

Promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in our agency, courtrooms, and community is critical to our mission. Diversity strengthens our organization by broadening our understanding of different experiences, viewpoints, and cultures and inspiring us to view issues from new angles. Cultivating an environment where everyone is treated fairly, all voices are heard, and every culture is celebrated gives us the foundation to do our best work. We understand that unjust systems harm our clients and community. Challenging these systems requires us to examine our own implicit biases and adopt model practices for mitigating harm, elevating voices that have been muted by prejudice, classism, or racism, and moving forward together in strength. Our Leadership Team includes a Director of Training, Equity and Development who supports our commitment to put equity at the center of our practices, both within our organization and in our roles as defenders and community leaders. We stand for racial equality, social change, and equal justice for all.
