So I went to visit the Hamilton County Public Defender's office in Cincinnati today, which was really interesting, but what shocked me was how underfunded they are and how insanely underfunded they used to be. They were talking about how it's difficult for them right now because they all have cubicles so it's hard to talk on the phone/talk to clients about confidential matters, but it's still much better than last year when each of their computers had to be shared by 2 attorneys. That seems insane, both for confidentiality and quality of work life reasons! Hamilton County is not a small county either. Is this relatively normal across the country or is this a more extreme example?

It's the same thing up here in Wisconsin, both the public defenders and the DA offices are really strapped. Way it works up here is that the state decides how many PD's and ADA's each county has, the the state hasn't been bumping it up. The DA of Sheboygan County where I am has been complaining for years how he is understaffed and has had to stop prosecuting some minor crimes. After I was sworn in there was a PD rep. at the reception that basically said in this county they are over-strapped and are looking for more private attorneys to get certified to get put on the assigned counsel list. Lady basically begged me to get certified, but where am I to meet any clients I have that can make bail, my parent's garage? Its a real shame, since PD and ADA positions have always been a great place for lawyers to get a start; most of my friends that have got a lawyer job post graduation has been PD's or ADAs. Plus I'd love to get in to either one and do my ten years for the loan forgiveness.

However, I also am on track for 1000 cases this year. Admittedly, my case load requires less time that felonies per case, but still. I still meet virtually all my clients in jail before the first appearance though, in fact, I am waiting to get into another jail right now. Generally in CA: PD is chronically underfunded while the DA is merely underfunded.

Solid Lizzie posted:I interned at the DA's one fall. The outside building is nice, but the DAs in Monroe County are all shoved in what feels like a cement prison. That said, their individual offices are big/furnished enough, though there is a distinct lack of windows, for sure. This is more of a government office building problem. They're generally designed to be filled in the middle with drones and a few managers get the windows. They're not designed for a law office. I have seen such a mix of offices between very nice to being in a basement. Very little to do with funding and more to do with who build new county buildings more recently. (The highest pay by far was at the worst office.) The real problem is staffing and to a lesser extent systems (however, many counties have learned that better systems means less support staff and long term savings). Those come from a completely different budget than buildings.

They're not designed for a law office. I've had offices in two county buildings in Cook County, and I've always had windows the length and size of one of the walls. Maybe we just have good buildings here (actually the current building I'm in is as ugly as sin), but windows aren't unusual. The building I'm in right now has windows for every prosecutor. I was previously in the Daley Centre, which has a handful of central, windowless offices. One little, boiling-hot, windowless office was affectionately called the sweat shop and had four prosecutors churning out briefs.

Now I have an office elsewhere that has been decorated by co-workers because maybe I possibly said some negative things about america. I have a giant inflatable statue of liberty behind my chair, a huge american flag over my window, a crying eagle desktop image, flags sticky taped all over my computer and desk, a giant pledge of allegiance mural, my chair was draped in a flag and then it was gaffer taped so I can't remove it, etc. Tragic.

In the "sour grapes" category though, I've really appreciated it this past week since I haven't been distracted by beautiful fall days.

Yeah, apparently that all started while I was down in Florida going to law school, so I never heard about it until I got back this past May after graduating. Also hello fellow Wisconsin lawyer goon? Congrats Feces, I'm guessing since you found out this late you either took it in Georgia(like many of my friends from my Florida law school) or California?
