    6  Allowing access to the names of the spouses and children of
    7  current or former public defenders, assistant public defenders,
    8  criminal conflict and civil regional counsel, and assistant
    9  criminal conflict and civil regional counsel provides a means by
   10  which individuals who have been investigated, arrested,
   11  interrogated, or incarcerated can identify and cause physical or
   12  emotional harm to these spouses and children. In addition,
   13  criminal conflict and civil regional counsel and their
   14  assistants provide representation in sensitive civil matters,
   15  such as those in which a person’s parental rights may be
   16  terminated based on allegations of perpetrating abuse and
   17  neglect against a child. By providing legal representation in
   18  criminal and civil matters, these attorneys provide a valuable
   19  service. The Legislature
