Backed by mentor Jonathan “Rap” Rapping, a charismatic leader who heads the Southern Public Defender Training Center (now known as Gideon’s Promise) they struggle against long hours, low pay and staggering caseloads so common that even the most committed often give up in their first year. Nearly 50 years since the landmark Supreme Court ruling Gideon vs. Wainwright that established the right to counsel, can these courageous lawyers revolutionize the way America thinks about indigent defense and make “justice for all” a reality?

    Refreshments will be served. RSVP by Monday, September 30, on UT Law Symplicity by selecting the 'Events' tab. Sponsored by the William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law and Career Services Office.
