Public Defender Contract -- District and Drug Court – Summit County is currently accepting applications for one half of the Public Defender duties of indigent cases in District Court. Contractor will be required to appear in all courts where Summit County cases are held, whether in Summit County or other Third District locations. Aggravated murder cases will be excluded from this contract. Drug Court is included in this contract. The contract term will begin January 1, 2027, and expire December 31, 2028 with the option of a one-time, 24-month renewal.

Qualified Candidates shall be required to provide competent and timely representation and counsel for each indigent defendant who has been charged by the Summit County Attorney’s Office with violations of Utah law in Third District Court. Candidates must be available and accessible to indigent clients reasonably in advance of any hearing or trial and must make reasonable efforts to visit indigent defendants who are incarcerated in the Summit County Jail, admitted to a hospital or otherwise confined at the earliest possible moment, to return telephone calls as soon as reasonably possible, and to otherwise be reasonably accessible to all indigent defendants. Representation of indigent defendants shall be up to and including the filing of the notice of appeal, but not the appeal itself.
The contract pays $186,534.40 annually with the option of a CPI-adjusted increase in subsequent years (pending appropriations approval from the County Council). Please send letter of interest, resume and references to Summit County, Purchasing Department, P.O. Box 128, Coalville, Utah, 84017, or electronically at contact@example.gov.
