Indigent Defense / Public Defender Systems
ABA TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Procedure for Requesting Indigent Defense Technical Assistance
The Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigent Defendants (SCLAID) offers technical assistance to courts, bar associations, study commissions, and other entities seeking to improve indigent defense systems. SCLAID provides this assistance through The Spangenberg Group (TSG), national experts in the field of indigent defense, who provide these services through a consulting arrangement with SCLAID.
SCLAID may not be able to fully fund the assistance necessary in each situation. The requesting entity may provide supplemental funding from other sources to complete or expand a project.
Requests for assistance are evaluated and approved by SCLAID's Indigent Defense Advisory Group; this group also provides oversight throughout the duration of the project.
To obtain technical assistance, please complete and submit the request form below.
