Attorney
San Francisco Public Defender's Office

Emily Goldman is an attorney who has been representing youth in the juvenile court for over 25 years. She is the manager of the Youth Defender Unit of the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office. Emily’s commitment to system involved youth in San Francisco is rooted in her own experiences growing up in the City. Those years exposed her to a justice system that often seemed unfair to kids, where young voices were marginalized or ignored and where economic and racial disparities were rampant. The Youth Defender Unit works diligently to overcome those barriers, to keep young people out of juvenile hall and insure that they are supported within their own communities where each youth’s individualized needs can be addressed outside of the carceral system.

With her involvement in SFCC, Emily hopes to expand opportunities to the youth of San Francisco, particularly to those who are underrepresented and who have been impacted by system involvement. As a San Francisco native, she is committed to supporting this community in particular and appreciates that SFCC has been a long standing advocate of this population.
