Feedback Survey
As several public defender offices are now being created in Michigan, many indigent clients live in rural areas that do not have the resources or accessibility to services that are key components to implementing holistic defense. This workshop will discuss the barriers that have been encountered by the Muskegon, Allegan, and Van Buren County Public Defenders Offices and how the offices have worked to resolve the barriers. We will share experiences of overcoming barriers, including the struggles faced with stakeholder buy-in, client engagement, and creating community partnerships.
