Trail cases definition
Trail cases are those in which 1) former conflict counsel, or 2) an attorney on their panels, or 3) an attorney off panel was assigned to represent a client prior to January 1, 2019. Except as provided below, those cases in the first two categories, that is in which former conflict counsel have already been paid by the County to represent a client or to find representation from their panel of attorneys for a client, should continue to be represented by their assigned counsel. (In such cases, the County has fully paid for the representation and any additional moneys due an attorney on a panel of the former conflict counsel is a matter between the former conflict counsel and the attorney on his panel.) However, with respect to trailing cases involving a client for whom a bench warrant is as of January 1, 2019 outstanding, Contractor shall, pending approval by the Court to substitute in as counsel, represent such clients. With respect to trailing cases in the third category, that is in which an off panel attorney has been assigned, Contractor will make best efforts to negotiate flat fee compensation for legal services rendered in cases where appointment predated this agreement but legal services continue to be rendered at hourly rate. Upon approval of the County Administrative Officer, Contractor will enter compensation agreements for said legal services and the County shall reimburse Contractor for that expense. In the event that Contractor cannot reach flat fee compensation agreements, Contractor will audit invoices and compensate the attorney at an hourly rate set by the Court. County shall reimburse Contractor for that expense.
