BJCL presents San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi, who will discuss the task of providing competent legal representation to poor and low-income individuals amidst budget cuts and lay-offs. As the elected leader of the city's only constitutionally-mandated office, which serves over 29,000 people each year, Mr. Adachi has been involved in a public struggle to provide quality legal defense in light of shrinking resources.
Mr. Adachi joined the Public Defender's Office in 1986 and was elected Public Defender in 2002.
