Current through Register Vol. 40, No. 24, July 15, 2024
Pursuant to § 19.2-163.8E of the Code of Virginia, the Public
				  Defender Commission, in conjunction with the Virginia State Bar, hereby sets
				  forth the following standards for appointed counsel determined to be qualified
				  and possessing proficiency and commitment to quality representation in capital
				  cases.* While § 19.2-163.7 of the Code of Virginia, effective July 1, 1992,
				  does not require more than one attorney, the appointment of two attorneys is
				  strongly urged for trial, appellate and habeas proceedings. Thus, the standards
				  often refer to "lead counsel"** and "co-counsel." If a public defender is
				  appointed as either "lead" or "co-counsel," the other attorney should be
				  appointed from the private bar.
A.
				Trial counsel
1. Court-appointed "lead
				counsel" shall:
a. Be an active member in
				good standing of the Virginia State Bar or admitted to practice pro hac
				vice.
b. Have at least five years
				of criminal litigation practice with demonstrated competence.
c. Have had, within the past two years, some
				specialized training in capital litigation.
d. Have at least one of the following
				qualifications:
(1) Experience as "lead
				counsel" in the defense of at least one capital case;
(2) Experience as "co-counsel" in the defense
				of at least two capital cases;
(3)
				Experience as "lead counsel" (or as lead prosecutor) in at least five felony
				jury trials in Virginia courts involving crimes of violence which carry, upon
				conviction, a minimum sentence of at least five years imprisonment.
e. Be familiar with the requisite
				court system, including specifically the procedural rules regarding timeliness
				of filings and procedural default.
f. Have demonstrated proficiency and
				commitment to quality representation.
