Eliza Orlins is a Manhattan public defender and outspoken advocate for our city’s most vulnerable moms, dads, daughters and sons.
Since 2009, she has represented around 5,000 New Yorkers who otherwise would not have been able to afford a lawyer.
During this time, Eliza has developed a reputation as a relentless champion for the underdog. She has taken on the toughest of fights for the very people our system is rigged against, including our black and brown neighbors and those in lower-income communities.
In 2021, Eliza ran for Manhattan DA, with a platform designed to transform criminal justice and make New York safer for everyone.

My TEDx talk is finally LIVE!
I’m really proud of this one—it’s about digital privacy, the erosion of the Fourth Amendment, and what I’ve learned after 15 years as a public defender. It feels especially timely right now.
Would love if you watched and shared—and let me know what you think!

Hi everyone! I’m Eliza Orlins, and I’m so excited to welcome you to my channel. As a career public defender for 15 years, I’ve spent my life fighting for justice and shedding light on the realities of the criminal legal system.
Here, you’ll find videos breaking down complicated legal topics, stories from the courtroom, and my takes on current events—all from the perspective of someone who’s seen the system from the inside.
I’m passionate about making legal issues relatable and fighting for fairness, equality, and justice for all. If that resonates with you, hit subscribe and join the conversation.
