Written by Zoie Clements, photo by Allyson Swapp To commemorate Nevada Law Day, Ms. Griffin, 12th grade Government teacher, invited a Nevadan, Public Defender, Alex Hubert, to speak to her students. He described his job in great detail and even shared some personal experience of his own. “Basically, I’ll defend anyone in Nevada who doesn’t have a lawyer.” stated Mr. Hubert. “The government essentially assigns me each of my cases and I try to defend them as best I can.” During his talk, a student asked Mr.Hubert if he had ever had to represent someone that he knew was guilty. This was his response, “I have definitely had that happen before. It can be hard, but everyone has the right to be able to defend themselves and it’s jobs like mine that help ensure that.” Shakayzzia Hunt, 12th grade, said “ I thought he was interesting, I learned things about laws that I didn’t know before. The cases he talked about shocked me. I didn’t know people our age were capable of that.” One of the stories he told the students involved a young man and two young women. In this case, Hubert represented a young man, 17, who allegedly shot and nearly severed his girlfriend’s arm as she attempted to prevent him from harming his ex-girlfriend. Both of the young women stood as witnesses in court and after ten hours of jury discussion he was found guilty. The job of a public defender is very different than that of a commercial lawyer. They are a lawyer that is at the expense of the public in a criminal trial. If you commit a crime, but can’t afford to pay a lawyer, you will be given a public defender. Public defenders are necessary to support the human right to a fast and speedy trial. With a separation between public defenders and the prosecution, it ensures the accused will have a fair, unbiased trial. Eldorado’s High School Seniors were very grateful to hear from Mr. Hubert and what he had to say. Helping them to understand their rights and hear his real world experiences brings them that much closer to preparedness into the real world.
