Antigravity Magazine: Looking for Justice at Tulane and Broad

ANTIGRAVITY SEPTEMBER 2019 MEGHAN GARVEY by Jason KerzinskiPart four of the ongoing Antigravity Magazine series Looking for Justice at Tulane and Broad, features Bond Attorney and veteran Tulane and Broad public defender, Meg Garvey on the importance of Magistrate Court, the often overlooked impact that initial court hearing can have to the outcome of a case and the changes she's seen over the last decade. 

"Part of the reason is that we have different people working there, but I also think it’s just been years and years of people like me and my colleagues grinding them down and saying: no, we’re going to keep showing up every day and demand that you do things according to the law. Over and over again. 365 days a year, for years, is really what that took."
