Comments

The Special Public Defender has two functions: (a) defending accused murderers in potential death penalty cases, and (b) defending parents who are at risk of losing their kids in TPR proceedings. Apparently for conflict reasons, this office is not affliated with the regular criminal Public Defender.

Until 2005, the TPR side of the office consisted only of Jane Femiano. Since then, two new attorneys have been added.

To prevent conflict, the Special Public Defender can only represent one parent in TPR proceedings. The other parent, if present, is usually represented by an outside conflict attorney.
