The bronx defenders is a public defender that is radically transforming how people in the bronx are represented in our legal system and, in doing so, is transforming the system itself. We have developed a groundbreaking, nationally recognized model of holistic defense that achieves better outcomes for the people we represent. Each year, we defend over 20,000 low income people in criminal, civil, family, and immigration cases, and reach thousands more through our community intake and outreach programs. Today we are reimagining the role of public defense even further, using community organizing, legislative advocacy, and impact litigation to partner with the communities we serve to bring about systemic change.
