H. Implement and manage the Municipal Court Program
Pursuant to SB18-203, the OADC is evaluating municipal court-appointed counsel through the
Municipal Court Program. In a similar approach to the process already in place by the OADC to
contract with effective counsel, this program will ensure that indigent defendants in municipal
courts are represented free from any political considerations or private interest and that such
representation is effective, high quality, ethical, conflict-free, and constitutionally sound.
As demonstrated in the chart below, the Agency exceeded its goal by six for Municipalities
Requesting OADC Attorney Evaluations. At the time of this report, 56 Municipalities have received
their evaluations. The remaining evaluations will be completed by the end of the calendar year.
The Agency has changed the target numbers for the "Evaluation of Municipalities requesting
services" to a percentage from an actual number as that is a more accurate way of documenting
this.
