The First Judicial District has agreed to raise fees for court-appointed attorneys for the first time in nearly 20 years. But an official in the Kenney administration said no funding source has yet been earmarked to fund the increase.
The court issued an order Monday outlining a new fee schedule and setting rules and procedures for conflict counsel attorneys to recover their fees. The order was issued after the First Judicial District’s Administrative Governing Board convened a special committee to review conflict counsel fees.
