An innovative model of indigent defense has been gaining traction in the US. Under a holistic or community oriented defense model, public defenders work in interdisciplinary teams alongside social workers, mental health professionals, and other advocates to address a client’s criminal case and its collateral consequences. Robin Steinberg, founder and former executive director of the Bronx Defenders, makes the case for holistic defense.
