How good are public defenders in minimizing or dropping drug and DWI charges in New Jersey?
Q. I am being charged with DWI and posession of drugs inside of a vehicle. I am in a really tight situation and am considering just getting a public defender becuase i cannot afford a lawyer. At the preliminary they told me i prob could qualify for a public defender, but all of my friends are highly advising against it. They say that public defenders dont fight for you and that they dont care. They just work for the state and cater to the prosecuters interests more than to yours. Is this true?

A. Yes. Public defenders don't usually put very much effort into their work, and will encourage you to go along with the prosecuter in order to shift the case through as rapidly as they can. There are probably exceptions but I've only seen them on television shows.

How common is it for public defender to actually work as an assistant prosecuter ?
Q. what rights does a person have who is being court ordered for a mental assesment by the request of the Da and the public defender actually goes along with this as well? can the person request another public defender? how would this look to the judge? and again how common is this? why would this be or allowed? please explain. btw, are you in the US or UK? Thanks for your asnwers! for example in a" simple domestic assault" charge...where the victim says that the other person has mental problems and tells the DA that they feel they need to be mentally assesed and the public defender of the person goes along with this and even recommends this as well. why would this be? how common is this that they would seek this, just on what the… [cont.]

A. Public defenders usually try very hard to plea bargain most cases quickly because of their impossible work-load. If you can afford it, hire your own attorney (look in the phone book). They actually have your best interest in mind.

How does Public Education lead to the social reproduction of existing class divisions in our society?
Q. how does public school funding mirror and reproduce the inequality of our society? what steps can be taken to ensure every kid a efficient education?
Asked by AllmanBrothers - Wed May 7 00:44:16 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Even putting aside kids whose parents send them to private schools...kids who live in poor school disctricts live around poor people; these people make less money and, therefore, pay less taxes; their schools, in turn, have less tax revenue with which to buy books, pay teachers, etc. Rich school districts, on the other hand, have more tax revenue to buy books, pay teachers, fund extra-curricular programs, sports, etc. Then, think about it: the kids who graduate from the schools in poor communities and stay there will make less money and thus put less money back into the community. The kids who graduate from richer schools will get better jobs and put more money back into their communities. It becomes a vicious circle.
