The two lawyers together handled more than 2,100 cases
in 2010 alone, the plaintiffs said. In allowing the case to go
forward, U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik said the evi-
dence could support a finding that the lawyers were so over-
burdened that the appointment of public defenders in those
cities is ``little more than a sham.’’
Grant County has spent the past seven years making
changes to its public defense system, including a reduction
Recent lawsuits in Washington
have highlighted the problem
with public defender caseloads
in caseloads, under a court settlement with the ACLU and
Columbia Legal Services. In a 2010 state Supreme Court
ruling, a Grant County boy who was convicted at age 12 of
sexually molesting a young neighbor was granted a new
trial after his public defender, who handled about 500 cases

plead guilty. The boy was eventually exonerated.

caseloads per public defender have dropped from about 500
per year to 150.
The state bar association previously adopted caseload
standards for indigent defense, but they were hardly
enforced. Several years ago, the Legislature passed a law
providing money to cities that made strides toward meeting
the bar association standards; last year, a dozen cities
received grants ranging from $2,500 to $150,000.
With the standards now enshrined by the Supreme Court,
they’ll have more teeth. Lawyers who take on indigent
clients will have to certify on a quarterly basis that they’re
complying, and courts could refuse to allow them to be
appointed in such cases if they don’t.
It isn’t clear how much the new standards might cost
cities and counties around the state. The amount is expect-
ed to vary depending on existing caseloads.
