County of Sacramento

 

Fern Laethem, Executive Director

The Sacramento County Conflict Criminal Defenders (CCD), by Court appointment, provides legal representation to criminal defendants who are financially unable to retain counsel. The Sacramento Superior Court appoints CCD to cases where the Public Defender cannot provide representation because of a conflict of interest or insufficient staff.

Attorneys who are active members of the Sacramento County Bar Association Indigent Defense Panel are assigned to provide representation, based on the complexity of the case and experience of the attorney.

CCD is a Department Level organization within the Countywide Services Agency of the County of Sacramento
