Application for Criminal Justice Act or Non-Criminal Justice Act Appointments (CJA/NCAA) refers to the process of applying for either a Criminal Justice Act (CJA) or a Non-Criminal Justice Act (NCAA) appointment. CJA appointments are made for publicly funded defense services in criminal cases, while NCAA appointments are made for publicly funded defense services in non-criminal cases. CJA/NCAA applications must be completed and submitted to the relevant Judicial District Office. Applications must include a completed application form and supporting documents, such as a resume, references, and a list of relevant qualifications. Depending on the type of application, additional documentation may be required. Once the application is received, it is reviewed by a Judicial District Office representative. If the application is approved, the applicant will be appointed to the case and will be provided with information regarding the case, including court dates and defense duties. The two types of CJA/NCAA applications are: 1. Individual CJA/NCAA Appointments: These appointments are made for individual defendants in criminal or non-criminal cases. Applications must include a completed application form and supporting documents. 2. Group CJA/NCAA Appointments: These appointments are made for groups of defendants in criminal or non-criminal cases. Applications must include a completed application form and supporting documents for each defendant in the group.
