Public Defenseless 404 | How Enforcing Workload Standards Changed the Culture and the Future of Montana Public Defense
Today, Hunter was joined by several amazing public defenders from the Montana Public Defender System. Each one of them joins the show to talk about the truly transformative effects that workload limits have had on the system, what they hope to see continue to improve in the system, and how the work is finally sustainable because they have enforced workload standards.
