| Summary, etc. |
"The 'single biggest predictor' of the quality of a public defender's work...is the size of the attorney's caseload. When it comes to felonies, the limit should be 150 cases a year, bar groups say. Last year [2003], public defender Thomas J. Earl of Washington's Grant County handled 413--a staggering figure that eviscerated the changes of a vigorous defense. At that rate, Earl could devote an average of only four hours per case, according to a formula used by the defender association....But as daunting as his caseload was, Earl didn't complain. Indeed, he invited the work--and the money it paid." (THE SEATTLE TIMES) This article highlights the case against Thomas J. Earl and suggests that "local governments have placed themselves--and countless indigent defendants--at the mercy of attorneys working under fixed-fee contracts, hoping personal integrity prevails where financial motivation fails." |
