🎉 Congratulations to Idaho’s State Public Defender office on its second anniversary! 👨⚖️
The University of Idaho College of Law recognizes State Public Defender Eric Fredericksen, the agency’s leadership team, attorneys, staff and contractors for their work building and strengthening Idaho’s statewide public defense system. ⚖️
Idaho Law values its partnership with the SPD and appreciates the agency’s support of our students through internships, externships, mentoring and career pathways in public service law. 🎓
In April 2026, Idaho Law Review hosted the symposium, “Justice for All: Systemic Transformation of Public Defense,” in Boise and via livestream for more than 230 attendees. The event examined the creation, operation and continuing evolution of Idaho’s statewide public defense system and highlighted its role as a national model for public defense reform.
Congratulations on this milestone, and thank you for your continued commitment to ensuring access to justice for Idahoans. 👏
