The Connecticut Explanatory Memorandum for Case-Budgeting in Non-Capital Panel Attorney Representations is a document issued by the Connecticut Office of the Chief Public Defender (CPD) to provide guidance to panel attorneys regarding budgeting and cost estimation of non-capital cases. The memorandum outlines the process for estimating and managing the costs associated with non-capital cases and provides a framework for case budgeting. It also provides guidance on the types of expenses that must be included in the case budget, as well as the standards that must be met in order to obtain CPD approval for a case budget. The memorandum is divided into four different types of Explanatory Memorandum for Case-Budgeting in Non-Capital Panel Attorney Representations: (1) Budgeting for Non-Capital Cases, (2) Cost-Estimating for Non-Capital Cases, (3) Approval of Non-Capital Case Budgets, and (4) Monitoring of Non-Capital Case Budgets. The memorandum provides detailed guidance on the budgeting and cost-estimating process, as well as the standards and requirements for obtaining CPD approval for a case budget and monitoring the budget throughout the case.
