The Conflict Program supports panel attorneys by providing access to the Attorney Support Division services. The purpose of the Attorney Support Division is to provide resources to the Conflict Program attorneys to facilitate the highest quality of representation of indigent individuals in Contra Costa County. Our goal is to help attorneys get the best outcomes possible for their clients. The Attorney Support Division provides access to social workers, research attorneys, paralegals, and mentors. The social workers can conduct a “deep dive” into the social history and assist with sentencing and finding inpatient and outpatient services. Research attorneys are available to analyze complex legal issues. Paralegals are available to assist with the organization of discovery. Conflict Program mentorship and brainstorming is offered to new and experienced attorneys facing a tough judgment call.
