Description

Summit County seeks individual attorneys—not law firms—to provide public defender services under two contracts. Attorneys will represent indigent defendants charged with violations of Utah law in Justice Court, including representation in initial appearances, pretrial, motion, and trial proceedings, as well as appeals to District Court. The work also requires reasonable client accessibility and efforts to visit clients who are incarcerated, hospitalized, or otherwise confined. The contracts are non-assignable, and attorneys must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, members in good standing of the Utah Bar, and competent in criminal law practice. Each contract pays $55,000 annually, with a possible CPI-adjusted increase in subsequent years subject to appropriations approval. The term is January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2028, with one optional 24-month renewal. The solicitation requests a letter of interest, resume, and references.
