Createdin the wake of the 1963 US Supreme Court ruling in Gideon, the Colorado State Public Defender system has a long history of providing excellent representation to persons accused in criminal cases when they cannot afford to hire counsel.

Created by the Colorado General Assembly in 1970, the Office of the State Public Defender (OSPD) is a model of independent and reliable statewide defense service delivery. Clients charged with crimes in courtrooms throughout the state will get quality representation regardless of where they are accused. OSPD staffs 21 regional trial offices, serving clients in each of the 22 judicial districts and the 64 Colorado counties. A central appellate division represents clients on appeal to the Colorado Court of Appeals and the Colorado Supreme Court.


Through the central office, OSPD provides leadership, guidance and quality training to ensure that each and every defender remains mission driven and upholds the necessary standards of legal representation.


The Colorado Public Defender offers a unique, collaborative and supportive environment where you can work alongside other committed and inspired Defenders. Colorado Public Defenders are a part of a team of over a thousand professionals working in twenty-three different offices fighting to protect the rights, liberties, and dignity of our clients.


The Mission of the Colorado Office of the State Public Defender is to defend and protect the rights, liberties, and dignity of those accused of crimes who cannot afford to retain counsel. We do this by providing constitutionally and statutorily mandated representation that is effective, zealous, inspired and compassionate.


Welcome to the web site for the Office of the Public Defender for the 10th Judicial Circuit of Florida. We have been proudly serving the people of Polk, Hardee and Highlands Counties in central Florida since 1963.


In the following pages we will attempt to provide you with some insight into the vital role of public defenders in our uniquely American system of criminal justice as well as a brief history of our office. We have also included some helpful tips and links to other informative sites should you ever find yourself or someone close to you involved in our legal system. We hope you find this information both informative and helpful.


The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees an accused the right to representation by counsel in serious criminal prosecutions. The responsibility for appointing counsel in federal criminal proceedings for those unable to bear the cost of representation has historically rested in the federal judiciary. Before the enactment of the Criminal Justice Act (CJA), however, there was no authority to compensate appointed counsel for their services or litigation expenses, and federal judges depended on the professional obligation of lawyers to provide pro bono publico representation to defendants unable to retain counsel.


In 1964, the CJA was enacted to establish a comprehensive system for appointing and compensating lawyers to represent defendants financially unable to retain counsel in federal criminal proceedings. The CJA authorized reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and payment of expert and investigative services necessary for an adequate defense. While it provided for some compensation for appointed counsel (CJA panel attorneys), it did so at rates substantially below that which they would receive from their privately-retained clients.


In 1970, the CJA was amended to authorize districts to establish federal defender organizations as counterparts to federal prosecutors in U.S. Attorneys Offices and an institutional resource for providing defense counsel in those districts (or combinations of adjacent districts) where at least 200 persons annually require appointment of counsel.


Today, there are 82 authorized federal defender organizations. They employ more than 3,700 lawyers, investigators, paralegals, and support personnel and serve 92 of the 94 federal judicial districts. There are two types of federal defender organizations: federal public defender organizations and community defender organizations.


Federal defender organizations, together with the more than 12,000 private "panel attorneys" who accept CJA assignments annually, represent the vast majority of individuals who are prosecuted in our nation's federal courts. CJA panel attorneys accept appointments in all CJA cases in the four districts not served by a federal defender organization. In those districts with a defender organization, panel attorneys are typically assigned between 30 percent and 40 percent of the CJA cases, generally those where a conflict of interest or some other factor precludes federal defender representation. Nationwide, federal defenders receive approximately 60 percent of CJA appointments, and the remaining 40 percent are assigned to the CJA panel.


Federal public defender organizations are federal entities, and their staffs are federal employees. The chief federal public defender is appointed to a four-year term by the court of appeals of the circuit in which the organization is located. The Congress placed this appointment authority in the court of appeals rather than the district court in order to insulate, as best as possible, the federal public defender from the involvement of the court before which the defender principally practices.


Community defender organizations are non-profit defense counsel organizations incorporated under state laws. When designated in the CJA plan for the district in which they operate, community defender organizations receive initial and sustaining grants from the federal judiciary to fund their operations. Community defender organizations operate under the supervision of a board of directors and may be a branch or division of a parent non-profit legal services corporation that provides representation to the poor in state, county, and municipal courts.


The Judicial Conference of the United States promulgates policies and guidelines for the administration of the CJA, formulates legislative recommendations to the Congress, and approves funding requests and spending plans for the defender program as a whole and, through its standing Committee on Defender Services, budgets and grants for each defender organization. The policies and procedures of the Judicial Conference for the operation of the CJA are set forth in its Guidelines for Administering the CJA and Related Statutes.


Acting under the supervision and direction of the Judicial Conference, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts oversees the expenditure of funds appropriated by Congress; administers the federal defender and panel attorney program on a national basis; is responsible for training related to furnishing representation under the CJA; and provides legal, policy, management, and fiscal advice to the Conference and its committees, judges, defenders and their staffs, and panel attorneys. Program support for the CJA is provided by the Defender Services Office of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts.


To learn how to apply to the CJA panel in your district, speak to a CJA panel attorney or visit the website of the local federal district court or federal defender organization. Find additional CJA attorney resources.


When Defender is first enabled, something in the sequence creates a classic conditional access policy in Azure AD called "Windows Defender ATP] Device policy". This is strange because it's not documented and Classic Policies are heavily depreciated.


I found out about it because this policy blocked sign-ins when attempting to create a device-code client script using the Defender ATP APIs. Sign-ins were failing on a conditional access condition, but it wasn't obvious which policy it was until we checked classic policies. The block was happening because device enrolment was required.


This same problem is described in more detail here -atp-and-powerbi-authentication-failure-with-conditional-acc... - although the author couldn't figure out what to do with the policy so just excluded specific users from the policy.


I'd like to delete this policy and replace it with a modern policy. However, the UI for classic policies doesn't tell you what the policy is doing - it looks like it has no conditions configured. If you look at the JSON the azure portal is sending to the page it has this RequiredDeviceState:["known"].


These classic conditional access polices are created by the linkage between intune and defender ATP. They are classic policies, are important, should not be changed, must not be deleted and cannot be converted to modern CA policies. Similar policies will be created other similar MTD solutions.


To solve my problem (unable to pass device code auth to the defender APIs due to these policies blocking authentication), I have modified the classic policy to not apply to the specific users that require API access, after confirming that these users will not be registering devices associated with intune/defender. I've seen some discussion posts (on other forums) where people have deleted the classic policies on the assumptions they are irrelevant - which I think is a mistake.


The Public Defender's Office (PDO) is envisioned to be client-centered, independent, and innovative to the needs of Travis County residents. Consistent with nationally recognized best practices, the PDO provides high-quality holistic defense representation and other support to its clients. We represent youth in Juvenile Court and adults, including those living with serious mental illness/intellectual or developmental disability, in Criminal Court.


The PDO is one of two organizations that provides court-appointed attorneys to adults facing criminal charges in Travis County who cannot afford an attorney. For a full list of TCPDO staff representing adults facing criminal charges, see Adult Division Staff page and Mental Health Division Staff page. If you do not see your attorney listed, then they are likely a member of the Capital Area Private Defender Service (CAPDS), a non-profit organization of private attorneys that provides court-appointed attorneys. For more information or to contact CAPDS, please visit Capital Area Private Defender Service (capds.org) or call 512-774-4208.
