Description

Summit County seeks individual attorneys—not law firms—to provide public defender services for indigent child welfare cases in juvenile court. Two contracts are available. Attorneys must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, be members in good standing of the Utah Bar, and be competent in criminal law practice. Duties include providing timely representation and counsel, remaining reasonably accessible to clients, and making reasonable efforts to visit clients who are detained, hospitalized, or otherwise confined. Attorneys must appear in all courts where Summit County cases are held, including juvenile court locations outside the county. Each contract begins January 1, 2027, and ends December 31, 2028, with an option for one 24-month renewal. Compensation is $180 per hour, with a possible CPI-adjusted increase in subsequent years subject to County Council appropriations. The contracts are non-assignable. Applicants must submit a letter of interest, resume, and references by November 23, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. MDT.
