Description: The Michigan Indigent Defense Commission has dramatically changed our State's criminal legal system and practice: how assignments are made, how attorneys are paid, and who approves requests for resources needed for clients and their representation. This session will review the MIDC's standards and client-centered best practices for compliance. We will also cover answers to the most common questions about attorney billing, caseload caps, how to obtain expert and investigative funding, and more.

Take-Aways: 

• Understand all MIDC Standards, including the new standards covering caseloads, qualification, and review of counsel.
• Review attorney billing practices including allowable expenses and common mistakes to avoid ensuring payment for services and understand the MIDC's role related to the attorney compensation standard.
• Understand how to seek funding for defense experts, investigators, and related resources - everything you need to adequately defend your client through the case.
