Orleans Public Defenders

The Orleans Public Defenders (OPD) office provides legal assistance to individuals charged with a crime in New Orleans, Louisiana state courts who are financially unable to retain private counsel. Courts within their jurisdiction include the Louisiana District Courts, Juvenile and Family Courts, Louisiana Circuit Courts of Appeal, and the Louisiana Supreme Court. Orleans Parish District Attorney prosecutes alleged felony and misdemeanor violations of Louisiana state law that occur within the jurisdiction of New Orleans. Alleged federal law violations by indigent defendants are prosecuted and defended in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
==Post-Gideon and pre-OPD==
After the U.S. Supreme Court decision in ''Gideon v. Wainwright,'' the city of New Orleans, Louisiana created a network of private attorneys to represent poor defendants part-time, for $29,000 a year. It was called the Orleans Indigent Defender Program. An office of public defenders did not exist at this time. Traffic violations and other court fines and court fees funded more than 75% of the program.
In 1993, Louisiana courts found the program to be unconstitutionally underfunded, but found they could not order the legislature to increase funding.〔 By 2005, the program was underfunded and the office had minimal resources.〔 The Southern Center for Human Rights, in a review, found: public defenders in New Orleans “did not visit crime scenes, interview witnesses, check out alibis, did not procure expert assistance, did not review evidence, did not know the facts of the case even on the eve of trial, did not do any legal research, and did not otherwise prepare for trial.”〔
