مستخلص: This article explores the potential of public defenders to bring about change in the criminal justice system. It focuses on the emergence of a new iteration in the holistic defense movement and the concept of collaborative defense. Collaborative defense aims to tailor defense practices to the specific needs of the community being served, addressing clients' needs outside of their criminal cases. The article provides examples of successful collaborative defense practices and emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong trial practice alongside these efforts. It also highlights the benefits of building trust and understanding between defense teams and their clients, as well as the importance of community engagement. Ultimately, the future of public defense lies in empowering defenders to address underlying issues while still holding the government accountable in court. [Extracted from the article]
