Public defenders and criminal defense lawyers have been systematically under-represented among federal judges. Now that President Biden is trying to bring balance, they are being singled out for unfair criticism. We need to defend these public defenders.

Senators who single out criminal defense work for criticism have it backwards: Representing people accused of crimes is the epitome of defending the Constitution & the rule of law without regard to personal beliefs - one of the most important skills of a judge.

The double-standard some senators use when criticizing public defenders is concerning. Criminal defense is mandated by the Bill of Rights. Even when it isn’t easy or their clients are unpopular, these lawyers stand for the rule of law. We need their voices on the bench.

Our federal courts would be better served with more public defenders & criminal defense attorneys sitting on the bench. We hope senators who share this belief will vigorously defend the legitimacy of public defense experience as a judicial qualification.
