If appointed to represent indigent defendants in Wayne County, I agree to represent my client at all proceedings. If I
cannot attend a proceeding on behalf of my client, I agree to obtain substitute counsel who is deemed certified by the
Assigned Counsel Services department. If unable to do so, I agree to notify the Court in a timely manner of my
absence.
If appointed to receive assignments, I will allow another attorney to second-chair the case to permit him/her to gain
criminal practice experience.
If appointed I will comply with MCL 775.18 which states, “Only 1 attorney in any 1 case shall receive the
compensation above contemplated, nor shall he be entitled to this compensation until he files his affidavit in the office
of the county clerk, in which such trial or proceedings may be had, that he has not, directly or indirectly, received any
compensation for such services from any other source.”
I further agree to attend all required CAP sessions as determined by the number of years of my practice. Failure to do
so will result in my removal from the Assigned Counsel List.
I hereby certify that the above information is true. Falsifying any information will result in my ineligibility to receive
assignments from Third Circuit CourtCriminal Division.
