NC: more live advice for prospective p.d.s

From the law school in Chapel Hill:

The UNC Public Defender Mentor Project and the Career Services Office are co-sponsoring this panel discussion with several of North Carolina's leading public defenders at noon on Monday, October 16th, in Room #5048... They will speak about their backgrounds and experiences and will consider the following questions as well as questions from the audience:

·What sustains you in your work? How do you deal with "losing" all the time? What qualities do you think are needed to be a public defender for the long-term?

·How do you avoid over-identification with your clients? How do you handle the fact that the criminal case may be one small aspect of your clients' already complicated lives?

I hope that current as well as future p.d.s are invited; they're gonna need more than an hour for this discussion.
