Title: Los Angeles County Juvenile Indigent Defense System

Summary: The County's juvenile indigent defense system was created over twenty years ago. Since that time, juvenile defense has evolved; defense attorney's roles have expanded; and attorneys are required to serve their client not only during all phases of the delinquency process, but including representation of the juvenile once his/her case has concluded. Defense attorneys are now expected to provide post-disposition representation which ensures the youth receives services ordered by the court, such as educational, medical and psychological; representation at post-disposition meetings; assisting with the sealing or expunging of records; and appealing of cases. Unfortunately, the County's system has not changed nor kept up-to-date with these new and expanding defense requirements. The aforementioned concerns and other system improvements are discussed in more detailed below and in the attached consultant’s report.
