Agenda Item Text:
Approve State Grant for Public Defender Training funds, per ARS 12-117, in the amount of $1,500 for the Legal Defender, effective July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022.
Background:
In 1989 the Arizona Legislature enacted ARS 12-117 for the purpose of providing funds to the Supreme Court for distribution to county public defenders, and additional offices established for conflict cases in accordance with ARS 11-581, for indigent defense training purposes.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Apprivals respectfully requested. Use funding in accordance with the agreement attached hereto.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If not approved, the Legal Defender will depend solely on the county general fund for funding for mandatory continuing legal education credits for attorney staff.
