424 | If You Cannot Afford an Attorney, None Will Be Appointed to You w/Andrew Davies and Shelby Sirivore

Dec 17

Hunter is joined once again by Andrew Davies and Shelby Sirivore of the Deason Center. This time, the two join the show to help us understand the policy decisions that local governments make that increase or decrease the likelihood that a person who cannot afford an attorney will actually get one appointed if they want it.

Guest:

Andrew Davies, Director of Research, Deason Center, Southern Methodist University

Shelby Sirivore, Contractor, Deason Center, Southern Methodist University
