Three Alumni Chosen for Public Defenders Program

Gideon's Promise announced its 2014 Law School Partnership Program (LSPP) class—a group of 15 recent law school graduates poised to join a group of public defenders committed to transforming criminal justice. Three 2014 GW Law graduates were chosen for this inaugural class: Adam Pienciak, Jack Talaska and Thomas Rimmer. "The work these young lawyers do represents the highest calling of our profession," said Gideon's Promise founder and president Jonathan Rapping, JD '95. "We are grateful to these schools for working with Gideon’s Promise and the Department of Justice to provide these graduates this opportunity."
