NFL Kickers are incredible. Cam Little just drilled a 68-yard #NFL Record that would have been good from at least 70.

Such a great point. But as Public Defenders, we really need to think about our responsibility and capacity to talk about reforms successes. It’s not our day job and there are tons of barriers, but it’s so essential for us to preserve reform gains.
This is one thing that skews the politics of crim legal reform.

There is ONE lawyer whose primary ethical obligation is to the greater: the prosecutor.

Not the defense lawyer.

So tough-on-crime DAs can publicize every example of a reform failing.

Defenders cannot point to client successes.
I'm going to elaborate on this a little, since it's relevant not just here but also in areas as widespread as sexual harassment cases, AI litigation, fair use, and even the WordPress Mess:

As a civil litigator, my ethical duty is to advise my client and serve my client's interests and goals.

Do they allow this type of content on Blue Sky?
I cleared my calendar tonight to watch Mike Tyson v. Jake Paul.

This is either gonna be great entertainment and a great fight or spectacularly disappointing.
