Catherine McNamara, Public Defender

Ali on the Run Show Episode 352: On the Job with Catherine McNamara, Public Defender

“It’s terrifying. But I think that’s a good thing.”

This week on the job, we’re headed to the courtroom! Catherine McNamara is a public defender in Massachusetts — a job she says is often mischaracterized and misunderstood. So she’s here to clear things up. Catherine talks about what makes her work hard, stressful, important, and rewarding, and talks about what it’s like in the courtroom. She also talks about developing the confidence needed to be a litigator and trial attorney.
