We were excited to welcome 40 law students and Professor José Cervantes Kirt from Xochicalco University in Tijuana, Mexico, to the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center. During their visit, students heard from our trial attorneys, gang specialists, and juvenile defense attorneys about the work public defenders do every day and had the opportunity to ask questions about the legal profession. Thank you for joining us—we enjoyed meeting with you and wish you all the best!
