CJA Panel Attorneys

CJA Panel Attorneys are private lawyers appointed by federal courts to represent individuals accused of crimes who cannot afford to hire their own legal representation. "CJA" stands for the Criminal Justice Act, which ensures the right to legal counsel for all defendants, as guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. These attorneys are selected from a panel of qualified lawyers, providing essential legal services to ensure fair trials and protect the rights of those unable to pay for legal help, thereby upholding the principles of justice and equality under the law.
