7. Condition of Membership
To be a member of the misdemeanor panel you must certify that you are willing to attend the training programs, provided
by the court at no cost, AND that you have read the CJA Misdemeanor Practice Manual. The manual is located on the court’s web
site at
in the CJA section.
PLEASE NOTE:
THE MAJORITY OF CJA CASES ARE ASSIGNED TO DUTY DAY VOLUNTEER PANEL MEMBERS
You must volunteer for duty day assignments. We assign duty days to misdemeanor panel members two times a year for the next six
month period, generally in May and December. Court staff check each docket to verify there is a sufficient number of initial appearances
scheduled to insure appointments for the Office of the Federal Public Defender and the panel attorney. The CJA plan for the District of
Maryland provides that 25% of CJA cases should be assigned to the panel and the remaining 75% are assigned to the Office of the Public
Defender. However, there is always a possibility that changes to a docket may be required, or that clients may fail to appear. If there are
insufficient cases to provide an appointment to the duty day attorney, then the court cannot compensate you for the time spent in
court on your duty day.
It is also the court’s policy to limit claims for travel time to the actual driving time to each court location, not to exceed one hour,
.
and your mileage reimbursement is limited to the lesser of your actual mileage or forty miles for each court appearance
I certify that I have reviewed the CJA Misdemeanor Practice Manual and that I will attend the training
programs for panel members provided by the court. I understand that failure to attend the training
programs will result in my removal from the CJA misdemeanor panel.
I HAVE REVIEWED THE COURT’S POLICY REGARDING DUTY DAY ASSIGNMENTS. I AM WILLING TO
VOLUNTEER FOR A DUTY DAY AT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING COURT LOCATIONS.
