Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. The following standards shall serve as guides to attorneys eligible for appointment as capital appellate or post-conviction counsel.
1. Attorneys accepting appointments pursuant
to this rule should provide each indigent client with quality representation in
accordance with constitutional and professional standards. Capital counsel
should not accept workloads which, by reason of their excessive size, interfere
with the rendering of quality representation or lead to the breach of
professional obligations.
2. To
determine maximum workload, an attorney should consider, among other factors,
quality of representation, speed of turnover of cases, percentage of cases
being litigated, extent of support services available, court procedures, and
involvement in complex litigation.
