CJA Form 24 Instructions are a set of instructions for completing the Criminal Justice Act (CJA) Form 24. The CJA Form 24 is used by the court system to request payment for attorneys appointed to represent indigent defendants. The instructions help attorneys understand the process of completing the form and the required documentation. The instructions include information on the purpose of the form and the eligibility requirements for appointment. There are two types of CJA Form 24 Instructions: one for attorneys appointed for a criminal case, and one for attorneys appointed for a civil case.
