A quick definition of public advocate:

A public advocate is someone who represents the public in important matters that affect everyone, like how much we pay for utilities or how clean our environment is. They help defend and speak up for people who might not have a voice otherwise. In some places, the term "advocate" can also refer to a type of lawyer who is trained in both religious and secular law and can give legal advice and represent people in court.

A more thorough explanation:

A public advocate is someone who represents the interests of the general public in matters that affect them, such as utility rates or environmental quality. They work to ensure that the public's voice is heard and that their rights are protected.

For example, a public advocate might speak out against a proposed increase in electricity rates that would unfairly burden low-income families. They might also advocate for stronger environmental regulations to protect the health and well-being of the community.

Overall, a public advocate is a champion for the people, working to ensure that their concerns are taken into account and that their rights are upheld.
