Special Issues Facing Women, Primary Caregivers & Families in the Criminal Justice System
WOMEN LAWYERS OF SANTA CRUZ COUNTY
is proud to present:
"Special Issues Facing Women, Primary Caregivers & Families
in the Criminal Justice System"
Heather Rogers, a graduate of Stanford Law School, is the first Santa Cruz County Public Defender. She accepted this position after serving at Biggam, Christensen & Minsloff (the contract-based public defender) for over a decade. She has nearly 20 years of experience and is well acquainted with this county's judicial landscape and political issues. In this presentation, she will discuss the special issues that women, primary caregivers, and families face when they enter this system. When someone ends up in the system, it's often because of a failed social safety net. She wants to shift the conversation and really break down the root cause of system involvement and push to work together with other community partners to find holistic solutions. She is committed to forming a well-rounded, client-centric office with both ample supervisors and a social support team to help clients navigate the often-harsh justice system.
