Navigating Chaos: Triumphs and Trials of a Public Defender

Matt Skinner is a public defender with passion. Criminal defense is high-stakes, sometimes chaotic work that can be extremely difficult, but Matt navigates the courts, clients, and his career with genuine sincerity and excitement. As a lawyer for those who are accused of felonies but cannot afford a lawyer, his love for underdogs fuels his advocacy. It was a profound experience in high school, however, that set him on this path. On a high school trip to the local jail, he ran into two of his friends--behind bars. Matt is a 2018 graduate of Seton Hall Law School.This episode is hosted by Katya Valasek.Mentioned in this episode:Learn more about BlueprintRoger Williams School of LawLearn more about Roger Williams School of LawLearn more about Baylor LawLearn more about Vermont LawAccess LawHub today!7Sage Admissions ConsultingLearn more about 7SageLearn more about Seton Hall
