• Commentary: Of Service: Public Defender Synergy Saves Lives

Some dollars are spent more wisely than others. We know this from personal experience, but it's a truth that businesses, nonprofits and governments can confirm. It's also a truth that should guide budget cutting during these times. As a veteran of legal services to the poor for 25 years, it has become easy for me to identify wisely spent dollars in indigent representation: those that keep folks from returning to court with the same or similar problem.

People facing federal charges who cannot afford an attorney soon will have access to a public defender in addition to the panel of local lawyers already available to indigent defendants. Out of the country's 94 federal court districts, Maine is one of nine that do not offer public defender services, opting instead to have a panel of lawyers who are experienced enough to represent federal criminal defendants.
