Partners for Justice (PFJ) is a legal services organization based in New York, founded in 2018, that seeks to reform public defense across the United States so race and wealth do not determine legal outcomes. Its flagship approach embeds trained non-attorney Client Advocates within public defender offices to expand access to wraparound support and address the broader penalties of arrest, while assisting defenders in integrating holistic practices into their work. The organization targets public defense offices and the clients they serve, aiming to improve legal outcomes inside and outside the courtroom and help individuals protect their rights, lives, and futures. Since its inception, PFJ has expanded from a two-site pilot to partnerships with multiple offices nationwide, leveraging local support to advance its model and reporting substantial jail-time savings for clients. A recent development notes PFJ's continued expansion, including collaborations with the Defender Association of Philadelphia to enhance community-based service capacity. PFJ operates within the legal services sector, positioning itself as a national partner for public defender expansion and resource augmentation." } } { } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } } }
