秋葵视频 welcomes Travis Williams, a public defender in the new documentary, 鈥淕ideon鈥檚 Army,鈥� as he presents 鈥淟ocked Up and Locked Out鈥� at 7 p.m., Tuesday, March 25 in the Russell Union Ballroom. 鈥淟ocked Up and Locked Out鈥� is based on the documentary, which follows a group of young public defenders in the Deep South who contend with low pay, long hours and staggering caseloads to represent the poor. The film鈥檚 title comes from the landmark 1963 Supreme Court ruling in Gideon v. Wainwright that established the right to counsel for defendants in criminal cases who are unable to afford their own attorneys. Williams, a public defender for more than five years at the Hall County, Ga., Public Defender鈥檚 office, will dive deep into the discussion of deficiencies in the U.S. criminal justice system, including mass incarceration and what it takes to maintain passion and commitment to be a public defender. Williams graduated from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University in 2005 with his undergraduate degree in business administration. He then continued his education by attending University of Georgia Law School and graduated from there in 2008. He was named the 2011 Assistant Public Defender of the Year by the Georgia Association of Circuit Public Defenders and in 2012 was honored as a 鈥淩ising Lawyer Under 40鈥� by the Daily Report, a Georgia Legal Publications. In his time as a public defender, Williams has tried 25 felony jury trials, losing eight. Of approximately 20 appeals, he has been granted five reversals by the Georgia Court of Appeals. This presentation is sponsored by the Multicultural Student Center, the Department of Sociology & Anthropology, the Justice Studies Club, the NAACP, the Association of Latin American Students, the Sociological Society and the Campus Life Enrichment Committee.
