Welcome to Season 3 of Hashing Out the Law. I am your host Arash Hashemi. Throughout my career I have been asked a lot of questions and heard a lot of comments about public defenders.

She has successfully obtained dismissals in felony and misdemeanor cases for lack of evidence, lack of a speedy trial and by providing additional, exonerating evidence to the prosecutor. In addition, she has been successful in suppressing evidence that was illegally seized by law enforcement resulting in forced dismissals of cases. *Disclaimer - The materials on this Podcast are for informational purposes only and are not legal advice.

Due to the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the April LSAT has been canceled and an alternate test, the LSAT-Flex, has been introduced.
