{"product_id":"2940149064380","title":"GOOD PRACTICES FOR FEDERAL PANEL ATTORNEY PROGRAMS: A Preliminary Study of Plans and Practices","description":"More than 40 percent of persons charged with federal crimes who are financially eligible\u003cbr\u003efor government-funded lawyers are represented by panel attorneys, private attorneys\u003cbr\u003eappointed by the court. While the Constitution and statutes dictate the broad mandates for\u003cbr\u003eappointing counsel, the details are left to each of the 94 individual district courts. Thus, a\u003cbr\u003erange of systems, diverse both in type and quality, has developed to provide for panel\u003cbr\u003eattorneys.\u003cbr\u003eAs a step in its strategic planning effort, the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts\u003cbr\u003easked the Vera Institute to identify and discuss good practices for selecting, managing,\u003cbr\u003eappointing, and compensating panel attorneys. Vera researchers reviewed the written\u003cbr\u003epanel attorney plans of all 94 judicial districts and conducted interviews with many panel\u003cbr\u003eattorney representatives, federal public and community defenders, judges, and court\u003cbr\u003eadministrators. Three districts that had made significant efforts to improve their panel\u003cbr\u003esystems—Maryland, the Western District of Oklahoma, and Oregon—were chosen for\u003cbr\u003ecloser study. Our goal was to identify practices that advance the quality of defense\u003cbr\u003erepresentation, as well as those which improve monetary and other efficiencies","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47075459629296,"sku":"2940149064380","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149064380_p0.jpg?v=1763711443","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149064380","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
