With the Criminal Justice Act of 1964, 18 U.S.C. § 3006A, and its subsequent amendment in 1970, Congress established a comprehensive system for appointing and compensating lawyers to represent financially eligible defendants in federal criminal proceedings. Today, there are 82 authorized federal defender organizations that employ more than 4,000 lawyers, investigators, paralegals, and support personnel and serve 90 of the 94 federal judicial districts.

The National Sentencing Resource Counsel (SRC) is a highly collaborative, mission-based project of the Federal Public and Community Defenders. SRC is one of several national projects that support the work of defenders and CJA-appointed attorneys. SRC staff are federal defender employees of the Office of the Federal Defender for the District of Arizona (FDO AZ), and are supervised by the SRC Director. Although SRC team members have broad knowledge of federal sentencing law and policy and work collaboratively, we are divided into four areas—Commission, Legislative, Litigation, and Data. These roles have different primary functions and responsibilities (as indicated below), but there can be significant overlap, with our work in one area often informing the work in other areas. Additionally, each SRC team member regularly trains defenders and CJA-appointed attorneys on sentencing-related topics. During busy sentencing guidelines amendment cycles, each team member may be expected to draft and edit comments and witness statements, cite check, and recruit and prepare Commission hearing witnesses. #communication #vacancy #uscourts #federaljobs #judiciaryjobs #federalpublicdefender #sentencingresourcecounselattorney #fulltimejobs #teleworkjobs Link to Vacancy: https://lnkd.in/eN9MeNrZ
