Let me rephrase: Is anyone giving input to the courts as to whom it puts on its appointed counsel list?

Subject: RE: conflict counsel
Our conflict payments come out of the court’s budget. The court will sometimes ask me for a general reference if they are looking for new counsel to replace one of the contracted attorneys. Our conflict attorneys are assigned to a particular
courtroom so each one gets every conflict for that courtroom/judge, unless, of course. they have a conflict. In that case it gets assigned on a rotation.

I know conflict payments come out of PD budgets sometimes, but are any of you providing input into whom the court appoints on a conflict?
