Introduction 2011 was the twentieth year the Assigned Counsel Program operated in all

courts. It was also the ninth year of operation for the Conflict Defender Office.

In 2011 The Conflict Defender Office had a staff of 10 attorneys and three support staff. Outside support services such as investigation and service of process are done on a contract basis. The attorneys in the office represent clients in conflict cases in Family Court, Rochester City Court and all of the appellate courts. All cases in Local Criminal Court, all felony cases and all statutorily assigned cases in Superior Court are still assigned to private counsel under the Joint Monroe County/Monroe County Bar Association Plan for Conflict Assignments.

The following statistical information shows the Program's relative success in meeting the goals of the Plan:

"The objectives of this conflict assignments plan are to provide quality representation to eligible indigent defendants or other litigants in those cases where the Public Defender has a conflict of interest; to provide a coordinated and centralized assignment system for conflict cases arising in the courts specified in Article IV herein; to provide a more equitable distribution of conflict assignments among lawyers; to attract more lawyers willing to handle conflict assignments; to maintain uniform and proper billing practices; to ensure cost accountability of services, and to provide increased efficiency for the courts by making qualified attorneys more readily available to handle conflict cases." Monroe County Bar Association Sponsored Plan for Conflict Assignments, ARTICLE II. Plan Objectives

"To Provide Quality Representation" 2011 saw a significant increase in case assignments to the Conflict Defender

Office from Family Court. The Conflict Defender Office has only four attorneys assigned to the same number of parts. There is no way that four attorneys can adequately cover all the parts. Additionally, the Public Defenders Office has two full-time paralegals assigned to Family Court while the Conflict Defender Office has none. Paralegals greatly reduce the amount of office time that attorneys must spend on document preparation giving the attorneys more time for court appearances and client counseling. The demands placed on attorney time by Family Treatment Court and the

- 2 -

new Permanency legislation – requiring hearings every six months – continued to pose a coverage problem for the Conflict Defender Office in 2011.

In response to this developing issue, the office had successfully applied for two Grants from The New York State Office of Indigent Legal Services that will allow for the hiring of two full time Family Court attorneys starting in January of 2012 to address this issue. These two Grant positions will be each be funded for three year terms.

Since the CLE requirements of the Assigned Counsel Program overlap with the Mandatory Continuing Legal Education requirements of the State of New York, compliance is 100%.

"To Provide A Coordinated And Centralized Assignment System For Conflict Cases"

The Assigned Counsel Program is fully computerized. The Program enters all cases reported to it in a centralized database that tracks the representation from assignment through payment of the voucher. This system avoids duplication of representation by showing all open cases for a particular client, thus insuring that there is a continuity of representation if the client is arrested on new charges. This system also promptly closes any case thus clearing any potential conflict of interest that the Conflict Defender might have in representing the client in future cases.

Assignments referred by the courts continue to be assigned from a rotating list of available attorneys who are qualified for varying panels. The Program is very successful in insuring continuity of counsel where a client is re-arrested on new charges, even when the arrests span differing jurisdictions. Additionally, the Program continues to track conflict of interest information so that counsel is not unnecessarily assigned when the Conflict Defender Office could ethically continue.

Through the efficiency of the court’s requesting assignment of counsel in a timely manner, and the cooperation of the panel members, we were able to insure that no clients went without counsel regardless how short a notice of the next appearance our office received.

"To Provide A More Equitable Distribution Of Conflict Assignments Among Lawyers"

While not perfect, the Program does achieve a significant improvement over the previous system of assignment of conflict cases. The Program constantly strives for new and better systems to distribute assignments more equitably among the participating

- 3 -

attorneys. In criminal cases, the current system is highly effective. There are still several local criminal courts that do not fully utilize the services of the Program in the assignment of counsel. This sometimes leads to a client having multiple attorneys for different pending charges. This results in increased and unnecessary costs to the taxpayer.

The District Attorney’s policy change regarding felony hearings causes a situation that skews the assignment distribution toward those attorneys who were most available for assignments. Since we need attorneys very quickly, those available when called got a disproportionate number of assignments. We are working on development of systems designed to alleviate this problem. Attorneys may notify us of availability on certain dates and at certain times so we may contact them when an assignment opportunity occurs on that date and time. Notice can be emailed, telephoned or faxed to our office. In addition, the first page of our web site contains a form that can be filled out and sent to us.

Equitable distribution of cases remained low in those Family Court cases not represented by the Conflict Defender staff. A mechanism must be found to address the inequities in Family Court assignments. The fact that a very few attorneys receive the bulk of the assignments places an undue burden on those attorneys and can impact directly on the quality of representation. More training through the appropriate committee of the Bar Association is necessary to familiarize the panel attorneys with local Family Court practice. The panel requirements for differing levels (custody/neglect versus removal proceedings) of Family Court representation are being revised and panel requirements are being enhanced so that issues regarding quality of representation are addressed.

"To Attract More Lawyers Willing To Handle Conflict Assignments"

Included in this report is a list of new panel members added during the 2011 calendar year. The Program continued to take every opportunity to remind the current panel members to apply for the more restrictive panels once they achieve the requisite qualifications. Panel applications, the volume of which had increased in 2010, continued at a robust rate, making available plenty of qualified assigned counsel members on all panels to more than meet requests for assignment of counsel.

- 4 -

"To Maintain Uniform And Proper Billing Practices And To Ensure Cost Accountability Of Services"

As was the case in previous years, The Administrator reviews each voucher before processing to insure compliance with the voucher regulations and notifies each attorney of any noncompliance to educate the attorney on proper procedures. The review and notification help maintain proper and uniform billing practices among the participating attorneys.

The District Attorney’s policy regarding felony hearings negatively affected the overall cost of the Assigned Counsel Program. Attorneys were forced to spend more time in court and more time attempting to obtain information previously obtained before or during the felony hearing. Additionally, more cases that would have been screened by the felony hearing process were indicted leading to increased time spent in hearings and trials.

"To Provide Increased Efficiency For The Courts" Courts fully utilizing the services of the Assigned Counsel Program report a

positive impact on the efficiency in obtaining assigned counsel in conflict cases. They report a significant decrease in the burden on the court staff in finding attorneys willing to accept assignments, a decrease in the number of phone calls necessary to contact an attorney for assignment, a decrease in the voucher processing time since the vouchers are now clearly labeled as to the matter and already reviewed with comments by the Administrator, and a prompt response from the Assigned Counsel Program in obtaining assigned counsel.

Due in no small part to the number of dedicated attorneys serving on the assigned counsel panels, and the staff attorneys in the Office of The Conflict Defender, a very high quality of representation in all of the criminal, family, and appellate courts was continued in 2011.

2011 Assignments3 The following charts show the assignments each attorney received in 2011. The

number of assignments is higher than the number of cases referred because in some cases more than one attorney receives an assignment for a case. Also, an attorney might be assigned in 2011 to a case originally referred in a previous year. This occurs most often after a court relieves one attorney and either the court or the Assigned Counsel Program assigns a new attorney.

Several factors should be considered in looking at these tables. First, approved panel members receive more assignments than non-approved panel members do. Some of the attorneys with a low number of assignments are non-approved panel members. Most often, such an attorney is court assigned. Secondly, those attorneys gaining membership on a panel for the first time during 2011 will have fewer assignments in that panel because they were not on the panel for an entire year. Thirdly, a number of attorneys decline a significant number of assignments, requested removal from the Program for periods of time or resigned from the Program during 2011. While the report includes non-approved attorneys, new panel members, attorneys declining appointments, and attorneys temporarily removed from panels at their own request, concentrating on those members who participated for the full year as approved members of a particular panel gives a truer picture of the equitable distribution of assignments.

The success of the program in achieving equitable distribution of cases is excellent when compared with other New York jurisdictions.

Of particular significance in this report is the fact that in the criminal courts, where the Assigned Counsel Program assigns a large percentage of cases, there is a more even distribution of assignments. This is attributable to the fact that, by comparison, Family Court has a much lower percentage of cases assigned by the Assigned Counsel Program. Most assignments are directly by the court. Attaining more equitable distribution of cases is difficult, if not impossible. The Administrator and Advisory Committee must work diligently to provide a workable solution to the inequities of the Family Court assignments. Looking at the last column of the tables, it takes significantly fewer attorneys for the Family Court assignments to reach a high percentage than it does for the criminal court assignments. This is less of a concern since the Conflict Defender Office represents the bulk of the conflict cases in Family Court.

3 Only assignments to new clients or to old clients with more serious charges are counted here.

Nonetheless, it is an issue that should be addressed for those cases where the Conflict Defender Office cannot represent the client in Family Court.

2011 Table of Program Use by Judiciary5 The table below shows the number of assignments for each Judge making at least

one assignment during 2011. The statistics, between this chart and the attorney assignments, clearly show that Rochester City Court, which assigns the greatest number of cases in the County, is very high in percentage of cases assigned through the Assigned Counsel Program. These facts directly correlate to the fact that the distribution of cases among the attorneys is greatest for criminal cases. Conversely, the statistics show that Family Court has a very low percentage of cases assigned through the Assigned Counsel Program when removing those cases assigned to the Conflict Defender Office.
