The Public Defender is a law office established
and funded by the County of Los Angeles. ( Click
here to learn the history of the office.) The functions of the
office are defined by the county charter and by California state law.
The attorneys and other staff employed by the office render legal services
to individuals who are accused of public offenses, and who cannot afford
to retain the services of a private attorney. We also represent any
person under the age of 18 who is facing juvenile delinquency proceedings,
or regarding whom the state has instituted wardship proceedings because
of habitual truancy or incorrigibility. We represent individuals who
are involuntarily detained in medical facilities in a variety of mental
health proceedings because of purported mental disabilities, those
as to whom conservatorship proceedings have been instituted because
they are alleged to be gravely disabled, and patients whose competency
to refuse medical treatment is challenged. Finally, we represent individuals
who are subject to contempt proceedings for violation of court orders,
such as child support and child visitation or custody orders. ( More
detail regarding the functions can be found in the frequently asked
questions .)
The Public Defender's Office employs approximately 670 attorneys,
75 investigators, 55 paralegals, 17 psychiatric social workers, and
a clerical/secretarial staff of approximately 150. The attorneys role
is identical to that of a privately retained attorney. Deputy Public
Defenders are all members of the State Bar, and are governed by the
same regulations and ethical obligations which pertain to a privately
retained attorney.
The attorneys employed by the Public Defender are full time employees
who by law cannot maintain private legal practices in addition to their
employment by the county government. Their experience levels range
from having been newly admitted to practice to many with over 35 years
of specialty in criminal practice. Cases are assigned to deputies in
accordance with their experience. Thus, complex and serious cases are
assigned only to those deputies with considerable experience, and capital
cases (those in which the state might seek the death penalty) are assigned
only to senior trial attorneys.
Public Defender’s Office – Frequently Asked Questions
Who is eligible for drug treatment within the criminal justice system
under Proposition 36?
There are a variety of ways to get drug treatment when a person is
charged with a crime. Los Angeles County has drug courts, in which
people who are addicted to drugs can enroll in an intensive drug treatment
program, without having to plead guilty or go to trial. Successful
completion of such programs results in dismissal of the case. Proposition
36 requires the state to offer drug treatment instead of incarceration
if a person is convicted of certain drug possession offenses or drug
use offenses. Under some circumstances, a person who is convicted of
certain crimes and is addicted to drugs can be committed to the California
Rehabilitation Center (CRC) for drug treatment.
I have heard about the success of Drug Treatment courts. How do they
differ from regular criminal courts?
The traditional adversarial system of justice, designed to resolve
legal disputes, has been determined not to be highly effective at addressing
alcohol or drug abuse. Indeed, many features of the court system and
the roles the justice system professionals play might actually contribute
to alcohol or drug abuse instead of curbing it: traditional defense
counsel and prosecutor functions and court procedures often reinforce
the offender's denial of an alcohol or drug abuse problem. The offender
may not be clinically assessed until months after arrest, if at all.
Moreover, the criminal justice system is often an unwitting enabler
of continuing drug use because few immediate consequences for continued
drug use are imposed. When referrals to treatment are made, they can
occur months or years after the offense and there is little or no inducement
to complete the program from a legal standpoint.
The mission of Drug Courts is to stop the abuse of alcohol and other
drugs and related criminal activity. Drug Courts offer a compelling
choice for individuals whose criminal justice involvement stems from
drug use: participation in treatment. In exchange for successful completion
of the treatment program, the court may dismiss the original charge,
reduce or set aside a sentence, offer some lesser penalty, or offer
a combination of these.
Drug Courts transform the roles of both criminal justice practitioners
and drug treatment providers. The judge is the central figure in a
team effort that focuses on sobriety and accountability as the primary
goals. Because the judge takes on the role of trying to keep participants
engaged in treatment, providers can effectively focus on developing
a therapeutic relationship with the participant. In turn, treatment
providers keep the court informed of each participant's progress so
that rewards and sanctions can be provided.Drug Courts create an environment
with clear and certain rules. The rules are definite, easy to understand,
and most important, compliance is within the individual's control.
The rules are based on the participant's performance and are measurable.
For example, the participant either appears in court or does not, attends
treatment sessions or does not; the drug tests reveal drug use or abstinence.
The participant's performance is immediately and directly communicated
to the judge by the treatment provider, who rewards progress or penalizes
noncompliance. A Drug Court establishes an environment that the participant
can understand - a system in which clear choices are presented and
individuals are encouraged to take control of their own recovery.
Cases involving defendants charged with personal possession who are
potentially eligible for Drug Court treatment are identified by the
District Attorney's Office by the date of arraignment. The Probation
Department may confirm such eligibility information. This information
is given to the Public Defender on that date. During the initial interview,
the attorney advises the client of all legal options including Drug
Court treatment. If the client decides to participate in intensive
drug treatment, the case is transferred that same day to the Drug Court
judge. The treatment provider's court liaison will conduct a thorough
interview of the client to determine the client's suitability for treatment
as well as to identify any special needs this particular client might
present. The focus of this case processing is to provide early intervention
during this window of opportunity that the shock of arrest and incarceration
creates. In the normal course of events a defendant can be participating
in treatment within a week of his or her arrest.
What happens when someone under the age of 18 is charged with a crime?
A child who is charged with committing a crime, with habitual truancy,
or with incorrigibility, comes within the jurisdiction of the juvenile
delinquency court. After a child is arrested, the child may be released
to a parent and cited into court at some future date -- or transported
to a juvenile hall. The police then submit their reports to the District
Attorney's Office. If the District Attorney's Office decides to charge
the child with a crime, the matter is set for arraignment in juvenile
court.
At the arraignment an attorney is appointed to represent the child.
Usually the court will also order the probation department to prepare
a report which details the child's history at home and at school and
will help determine whether court intervention in the child's life
is necessary. If the matter is not resolved at that time, the case
is usually calendared for trial or adjudication.
If the charges are admitted or found true at trial, another hearing,
called a disposition hearing is held, at which the judge decides what
must be done to rehabilitate the minor. The judge could order the child
to be returned home on probation, sent to a group home, sent to a county-run
juvenile camp, or in extreme cases, sent to the California Youth Authority.
In all juvenile cases, the courts try to consider the unique needs
of the child and find ways to turn his or her life around -- before
it is too late.
Throughout the proceedings, a minor is represented by counsel appointed
by the court. As in the adult court, if there is a conflict of interest
between the minor and some other minor or an adult, which makes it
improper for the Public Defender to represent the minor, the court
will appoint other counsel. If the minor is represented by a Deputy
Public Defender, that attorney will have the benefit of the input of
psychiatric social workers employed by the Office of the Public Defender
to assist the attorney in presenting treatment plans to the Juvenile
Court for its consideration.
If the offense with which the minor is charged is serious, the District
Attorney might seek an order to have the minor treated as an adult.
The court makes the ultimate decision whether the minor is "fit" to
be treated within the juvenile court, or will be transferred to the
adult criminal court for prosecution.
The Juvenile Dependency Court has jurisdiction over cases involving
abused, neglected or abandoned children. The Public Defender is not
appointed on dependency cases, but rather, such matters are handled
by attorneys who specialize in this area of law. For information on
dependency cases and attorneys who handle them, contact the Department
of Children and Family Services at http://dcfs.co.la.ca.us
My child, who is under 18, has been arrested and needs drug treatment,
mental health treatment, or specialized education. Can the Public Defender
help?
There are programs available to minors to deal with problems involving
drug abuse, mental health issues and specialized educational needs.
These programs are provided through various state and county agencies
and can be accessed by parents themselves or with the help of private
advocates. If your child is represented by the Public Defender's Office,
please alert the lawyer to any problems your child has with drugs,
school or mental health so that our office can begin the referral process
at the earliest possible time. Also, any records you have which relate
to these problems should be shown to the lawyer. If the Juvenile Court
is not made aware of the problems, the source of a behavioral problem
might go undiscovered and untreated, and the child may not receive
the full benefit of the resources available to the Court.

As the largest local prosecutorial agency in the nation, the Los Angeles
County District Attorney’s Office has a jurisdiction covering
4,083 square miles. The territory stretches from Antelope Valley to
Long Beach, from Pomona to Malibu.
On average the District Attorney’s Office prosecutes nearly
60,000 felonies and 200,000 misdemeanors a year. The Juvenile Division,
which has nine offices throughout the County, files approximately 30,000
criminal petitions a year against criminal offenders under 18 years
of age.
Cases from the central Los Angeles City area are prosecuted downtown
at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center by the Bureau
of Central Operations. Cases outside the central district are prosecuted
by the 30 branch and area offices. Head deputy district attorneys run
the main branch offices; deputies-in-charge run the branches’ smaller
area offices. All office
locations work closely with local police to prosecute crimes in
their respective regions. Branch and area offices prosecute the majority
of cases in the District Attorney’s Office.
Certain types of cases require expert attention and are handled by
special division or units. Prosecutors in these units focus on certain
types of crimes and are specially trained to prosecute them. Special
division and units - as well as prosecutors in the Victim
Impact Program - vertically prosecute crimes, which means that
one deputy district attorney handles the case from beginning to end.
