Working With The Community, For The Community
Public defender offices around the country are often overworked, underpaid, and feel isolated and alone in the fight for justice. Many would love to have a group of supporters from outside their public defender office who stand alongside them and working with them. Charlottesville/Albemarle Chief Public Defender Jim Hingeley has cultivated such a group. In 1998, he developed a Citizens Advisory Committee for his office, and has been amazed at the support and assistance he has received from the community. “If you want to reach out to the community, you might be surprised to find the community will really embrace you,” says Jim.

Holistic and Community-Oriented Defender Evaluation
The National Legal Aid and Defender Association (NLADA) is seeking a program partner for one of the most exciting projects ever undertaken by its Defender Division. NLADA’s Holistic and Community-Oriented Defender Evaluation Project seeks to develop evaluation tools that demonstrate the effectiveness of groundbreaking approaches to the delivery of criminal defense services that play a larger than traditional role. Such innovative approaches promote fair criminal justice practices, improve clients’ lives, build stronger communities, and may include:
§ Client services that go beyond the courtroom to address non-criminal social and personal issues (e.g., drug dependency, housing, mental health, immigration status, education, etc);
§ Client services that involve collaborative and problem-solving techniques with other criminal justice components (courts, prosecution, corrections, etc.); and/or,
§ Services that engage the community (community outreach, public education, sponsorship of community projects, etc.).
