ALBANY – A provision in the 2009-10 state budget directs the chief administrative judge to develop caseload limits for attorneys providing representation to indigent criminal defendants in New York City.
Such a cap was called for in 2006 by the Indigent Defense Commission appointed by former chief judge Judith S. Kaye and would be similar to the caseload cap established by Chief Administrative Judge Ann Pfau ( See Profile) in 2008 for attorneys for children, formerly known as law guardians.
