&gt; <i>Kind of Off-Topic, but I emailed Tina immediately upon reading this last week. It really moved me. I&#x27;d like to chat with any lawyers working as Public Defenders, pro bono or otherwise, to get a better idea of the day to day challenges they have with managing case load and communicating with clients. Things technoloy could help with. Does anyone know a good place&#x2F;community&#x2F;group to join?</i><p>I mentioned this to a public defender I know, and he&#x27;d be interested in dropping you a line if you can give me a contact address. (HN still doesn&#x27;t seem to have direct messaging...)
