Show Notes

Public defenders are overloaded, and legal jargon can leave defendants confused about the charges against them. Debasmita saw this firsthand volunteering with the Rainy Day Fund — and co-founded Legal Ease to change it. This episode breaks down what public defense really looks like and how Legal Ease is closing the gap.
