The Office of the Federal Public Defender for
the District of Maryland provides representation to
any person financially unable to obtain adequate
representation in actions within the jurisdiction of
the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.
Representation includes counsel and investigative,
expert and other services necessary for an adequate
defense.
The Federal Public Defender, Deputy Federal
Public Defender, and twelve staff attorneys known
as Assistant Federal Public Defenders handle
caseloads composed of federal misdemeanors,
felonies, parole and probation violations, habeas
corpus, grand jury representation, direct appeals to
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit,
and petitions for a writ of cerriorari to the U.S.
Supreme Court.
The Office of the Federal Public Defender for
the District of Maryland was created in 1974 ac-
cording to the Criminal Justice Act of 1964 (18
U.S.C., sec. 3006A). That Act allows a District
Court to establish a defender organization in a
district in which at least two hundred persons an-
nually require the appointment of counsel.
The Maryland Federal Public Defender is ap-
pointed to a four-year term by the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, after consideration
of recommendations made by the U.S. District
Court for the District of Maryland. The Federal
Public Defender appoints as many attorneys as the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ap-
proves and other personnel as approved by the
Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S.
Courts.
Annually a report covering activities, financial
position, and proposed budget is submitted by the
Maryland Federal Public Defender to the Director
of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
