Chant'a Parker, Public Defender and Proud Spelman /NYU School of Law graduate.
There has always been something fascinating about the various fields of law. Many a U.S. President started off as a lawyer before proceeding to the Oval Office. Legal dramas and real-life court cases remain popular viewing year after year. And despite the crass jokes that abounds about lawyers, it's one of the few fields that still command a great deal of respect.
One of the more challenging areas in the legal profession is public interest law. While it may not have the same allure or high salary, it's also the one branch of law that attracts some of the most dedicated and selfless individuals around.
Chant'a Parker, a proud Spelman and NYU School of Law graduate is just that kind of lawyer. As a public defender based in NY, Parker has been known to "go the distance" when others would rather give up and quit. In this interview, Parker describes her interest in public defense law and why she hopes that more young people-of-color seriously consider it as a career.
