I get all kinds of interesting cases. I adore the fast pace. Every day I\u2019m having an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weinstein works for the New Hampshire Public Defender\u2019s Office in the small, rural city of Keene. It\u2019s the culmination of a dream that started almost 10 years ago when he was an undergraduate student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His first-year writing professor at Dartmouth College, a former judge and public defender, recognized a spark in Weinstein and kindled it, encouraging him to consider a public interest career path. He first explored advocacy work during an internship at the New York Civil Liberties Union in Hempstead, where he drafted \u201cKnow Your Rights\u201d documents and gathered resources to help K-12 school officials create inclusive policies for transgender students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After college, he worked at GLBTQ Legal Advocates &amp; Defenders (GLAD) in Boston. Founded in 1978 by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/articles\/2019\/a-career-spent-fighting-for-the-rights-of-lgbtq-individuals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">John Ward (\u201976)<\/a>, the organization fought to legalize same-sex marriage. Weinstein supported attorneys handling LGBTQ civil rights impact litigation and advocacy. It was thrilling to work for an organization that paved the way for Alex to exchange vows with his husband, Ben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI got to work among giants,\u201d Weinstein says. He worked closely with the attorneys who brought a civil case against insurance companies that refused to cover people taking Truvada for PrEP, a drug proven to be 99 percent effective in preventing the contraction of HIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a lot of fun, and it was fascinating to see how the nonprofit developed its legal strategy to push the law forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he realized he wanted to start his law career in a role that would provide a closer connection with his clients. He remembered an early experience as an undergrad intern at the New Hampshire Public Defender\u2019s Office.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time he applied to BU Law, he had set his sights on becoming a public defender. He gained valuable hands-on experience through the law school\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/experiential-learning\/clinics\/wrongful-convictions-clinic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wrongful Convictions Practicum<\/a> in 2019 and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/experiential-learning\/clinics\/criminal-law-clinical-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Criminal Law Clinical Program<\/a> in 2020. In the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, he heeded the call for volunteers to help with compassionate release cases. Working <em>pro bono<\/em> with a private attorney, he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/record\/articles\/2020\/students-assist-inmates-seeking-release-due-to-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sought an emergency release<\/a> for a client about five years into a 15-year sentence for conspiracy to distribute marijuana and other charges. The judge ultimately granted the motion, although it happened a year later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summer after his second year of law school, Weinstein applied for an internship in the New Hampshire Public Defender\u2019s Office. During the interview, he faced questions about handling each step of an elaborate client scenario. Thankfully, he was prepared. In the Wrongful Convictions Practicum, the class discussed ethical quandaries in criminal law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote record-block-bu-pullquote alignwide is-style- has-image-focus-center-middle has-primary-theme\"><div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote-inner\"><figure><\/figure><blockquote><div class=\"container-lockup\"><div class=\"container-icon-outer\"><div class=\"container-icon-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"container-text\"><hr\/><div class=\"quote-sizing\">If you want to be a shield against the strength of the state being wielded indiscriminately, if you want to uphold the best values of the system, if you want to protect people\u2019s humanity and actually seek justice, criminal defense is the best possible job.<\/div><footer class=\"caption\">Alexander Weinstein (&#8217;21)<\/footer><hr\/><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The internship cemented his interest in representing criminal defendants who could not afford to hire a lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s hard not to come away with a fire of some kind from that experience,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s incredibly necessary, demanding, and profoundly rewarding work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weinstein saw how he could make a difference in people\u2019s lives who were struggling\u2014seeking justice on their behalf against a system that wasn\u2019t designed to treat them with compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/admissions-aid\/financialaid\/scholarships\/public-interest-scholarships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Public Interest Scholarship<\/a> from BU gave him the financial ability to apply for a permanent position in the public defender\u2019s office right after graduation. He finished a one-month training right before the bar exam results were released on Oct. 1, which also happened to be the Friday before his wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He still frequently seeks guidance from his colleagues and isn\u2019t carrying a full caseload yet. But he is grateful for the return of in-person client meetings and court hearings after the challenge of getting his initial criminal law experience during the early days of the pandemic lockdowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s harder for judges to be reminded of our clients\u2019 humanity when they\u2019re a little square on a screen than when they\u2019re a person in front of them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He encourages law students to consider a career as a public defender, especially in New Hampshire, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhpr.org\/nh-news\/2021-10-06\/new-hampshire-public-defenders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">experiencing a shortage<\/a> due to high caseloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-end-of-article\">\u201cIf you want to be a shield against the strength of the state being wielded indiscriminately, if you want to uphold the best values of the system, if you want to protect people\u2019s humanity and actually seek justice, criminal defense is the best possible job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"wp-block-editorial-relatedstories is-style-card has-three
