In this episode of Off Paper host Mark Sherman talks to Maureen Scott Franco, the Federal Defender in the Western District of Texas, and Kathy Nester, the Federal Defender for the District of Utah, about holistic indigent defense and the programs they have created in their districts to pursue its goals and benefits.
