The Washington State Office of Public Defense (OPD) is currently developing a Youth Access to Counsel (YAC) hotline to serve youth who need to consult with an attorney pursuant to RCW 13.40.740. We are seeking attorneys to work on-call shifts to provide advice to youth when they are subjected to custodial interrogations or asked to consent to protected searches. We are looking for defenders to serve as the inaugural group of attorneys as we develop this exciting program!
