Katie Fraser joined SCPDA in 2014 after interning as a public defender at the ACA Division of the King County Department of Public Defense. Katie earned her B.A. at Western Washington University and her J.D. at the University of San Francisco School of Law where she graduated first in her class. During law school, Katie was a legal intern at the Criminal and Juvenile Justice Clinic, the Contra Costa Public Defender’s Office, and the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office.

“I became a public defender after growing up in Snohomish County and witnessing firsthand how the criminal justice system discriminates between members of different socioeconomic groups. I believe everyone deserves to be treated equally by our system and hope to provide the best possible representation to ensure the Constitutional Rights of all our citizens are respected and upheld.”
