Policy Panel: Legal Services for the Indigent – Evaluating Policy Options
Fri, Nov 21, 11:00am to 12:20pm, Marriott, Pacific I, 4th FloorSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
Building on the strong tradition of thorough evaluation of policy innovations, three papers examine key questions in how indigent defense services should be delivered. The papers examine the difference made to clients by decisions to provide counsel earlier in cases, to require attorneys to use checklists in their representation, and to provide representation through institutionalized, rather than contracted, attorney service-providers.
