Young p.d. colleague's blog goes dark

A young public defender just starting out has felt compelled to take down her blog. It's probably the right choice for her continued employment, but sad that she's lost an outlet for her hopes and fears, an outlet she might not have felt that she had in her office IRL.

I admired her thinking and linked to her blog for the last few months. The link and the blog are gone today, regrettably. Public Defender Stuff has done a public service in preserving excerpts from the diary of her professional growth.
