Non-Standard Attorney Agreement

Something I'd not noticed before has appeared on the JAC website.

This "Non-Standard Attorney Agreement" is for "single court appointment for attorney services". It is for use when a judge appoints an attorney who is not listed on a registry to represent an indigent person. The addition of this contract to the JAC site suggests to me that some are looking forward and recognizing two realities: (1) qualified attorneys have fled the registries, and (2) the Regional Counsel Offices will not be able to handle all that they are currently expected to handle.

That's interesting.
