The Superior Court of Los Angeles County’s Appellate Division is seeking qualified attorneys to represent indigent defendants. Upon Appellate Division approval, appointed attorneys are compensated by the Professional Appointee Court Expenditure (PACE) program at a rate of $100 per hour and are appointed to represent indigent defendants through an alphabetical rotation process. Occasionally, and in the interest of judicial economy and efficiency, an attorney may be appointed out of order when there is a related pending appeal for the same defendant. Email application materials (cover letter, resume, and two recent writing samples) to: Patti Jo McKay, Presiding Judge, Appellate Division, Care of Lynette Brooks at LBrooks@lacourt.ca.gov
