Information
Agenda Item Text:
Approve Funding Agreement with Arizona Supreme Court for Public Defender Training Funds in the amount of $3,600 for the Legal Advocate Department for July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.
Background:
This is a new grant for the newly created Legal Advocate Department. In 1989 the Arizona Legislature enacted ARS 12-117 for the purpose of providing money to the Supreme Court to be distributed to county public defenders for training purposes.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
The Legal Advocate will use the funds to provide training to office staff.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved the Legal Advocate will depend solely on the county general fund for funding for mandatory continuing legal education credits for attorney staff.
