The
Public Defender protects the constitutional and statutory rights of all
citizens through the effective legal representation of court appointed
clients, pursuant to Chapter 27, Florida Statutes.
The
Public Defender’s goal is to provide quality representation to all
appointees. Because “quality representation” cannot be defined or
measured in wins and loses, this program is not necessarily conducive to
performance measurement. The
measures that have been developed are rather designed to determine the
quality of work in other ways, i.e. frequency of client contact, time of
case resolution, and attorney experience.
