Today, Hunter once again sat down with Stephen Hanlon to talk Public Defender Workload Studies. This time, they spoke about the brand new National Workload Standards for Public Defense that are finally out as of today! While it is extremely easy to be pessimistic about the potential for a workload study to lead to meaningful change in Public Defense, this could be a water shed moment. This report provides Public Defenders around the country with the data they need to stand up for themselves and their clients as the workload crisis rages on.   Guests: Stephen Hanlon, Public Interest Attorney     Resources: Read the Full Report Here https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RRA2559-1.html Lawyer Hanlon https://lawyerhanlon.com/ Stephen Hanlon Law Review Article https://www.slu.edu/law/law-journal/pdfs/issues-archive/v61-no4/stephen_hanlon_article.pdf State v Waters https://casetext.com/case/state-ex-rel-mo-pub-defender-commn-v-waters     Contact Hunter Parnell:                                 Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN
