The Fight Goes On...

The PD's in Missouri are still fighting the judges over caseload. And while it's a noble fight, I fear it may not come out quite as nicely as it should. As it stands a judge has ordered the public defenders to interview potential clients that they've indicated they'll no longer represent.

At stake here is the idea that we are fungible cogs in the machine of justice, and that it really is just a matter of throwing a licensed body up there to insure that an appellate court doesn't reverse...

It will wash out at some point, but probably it will have to be via mandamus.
