1) Narrative of Student/Court employee discussions: 1. I know people have different attorneys, but that one lady has defended multiple people here for different things today. What is her job title? And what does she do? - Her job title is a Public Defender. If the defendant does not have a lot of money, they can hire her and she will defend you. 2.
