Juvenile Justice Blog | "For these are all our children. We will all profit by, or pay for, whatever they become." James Baldwin

Classmate Tamar Birkhead has started a new blog.  Check it out by clicking on the link below.  Very interesting.  (By the way, it is added to the blog roll on the left . . . so you can follow Tamar's posts from here.)

I graduated from law school twenty years ago, and after clerking for a state court appellate judge, I have practiced as a public defender ever since — in both state and federal court, representing both adults and juveniles.  As those of you in the trenches know, the work is not easy, there are very few “wins,” and there is little or no societal (or even professional) recognition for what we do.  Yet, we find ways to keep ourselves going — whether through the support and camaraderie of our colleagues, a strong commitment to defending the underdog, or those infrequent moments when we sense that we just might — maybe, hopefully — be making a difference.
