From www.janekim.org:  Jeff Adachi is San Francisco’s elected Public Defender. Jeff formerly worked as a deputy public defender for 15 years, serving as the office’s Chief Attorney before his election in 2002. Jeff established a reputation as one of the city’s top trial attorneys before turning his efforts to leading the office of 90 attorneys and 60 support staff. The office represents over 20,000 people each year who are unable to afford an attorney.

During his first term, Adachi increased the office’s attorney and support staff, implemented innovative community-based programs for youth involved in the juvenile justice system and developed services to help those re-entering society from prison such as “Clean Slate,” which helps rehabilitated persons clear their criminal records. Adachi has also played a leading role in advocating for issues involving civil liberties, police accountability and prison reform. He recently received the American Bar Association’s Dorsey Award, given annually to an outstanding public interest lawyer who serves the poor.
