Indigent Defense Services (IDS) works to ensure that indigent persons in North Carolina who are entitled to counsel at state expense are afforded high quality legal representation, which is no surprise since NC Rule of Professional Conduct 1.1 requires lawyers to have "the legal knowledge, skill, thoroughness and preparation reasonably necessary for the representation." But many counties in North Carolina lack public defender officers, so are defendants in those counties receiving appropriate representation?
This panel explores whether the current IDS system ensures competent and zealous representation of indigent defendants throughout the state.
