U.S. Spends $14 on Corrections for every $1 spent on public defense.
We observed a misdemeanor docket of 192 total cases of a mixture of offenses, of which 60 had already been assigned to the two public defenders assigned to the courtroom (30 each). Assuming the docket ran for a full eight hours, ending by 5:00pm, an average client would have access to only 16 minutes of his attorney’s time that day.7/1/11 to 11/30/11 8,221 closed misdemeanor files by 21 attorneys for an average of 391 cases each in less than half a FYPerspective: Washington State Supr Ct considering caseload limits in similar courts of 300-400
