Mr. Banks reported that needed support funds in future years could be obtained through the same private rector Of and by SLLDA, William Marsh, SLLDA coun- sel. The agency, members of the bar section were told, is viewing the future in the area of possible expansion to involve indigent legal representation in Justice of the peace courts, in Juvenile court cases, in traffic court cases, in criminal misdemeanors and, ultimately, in civil actions. . The agency, meanwhile, reported that it is awaiting to learn if Salt Lake County will provide the requested $10,000 needed to fulfill the agencys budget requirements for its first year of operation. The agency began functioning on March 1, 1965 on Ford Foundation funds contributed through NLA DA. Some lawyers at the meeting observed that there is a legal requirement in state .statutes that the county accept a financial responsibility for legal defense of the indigent. The alternative of the budgeting of the needed amount to fulfill SLA DA obligation to its agreement with the national organisation, It was pointed out, would be civil action to recover. Whether the agency functions under the Ford Foundation three --or --four -- year program toward status, or switches to OEO support. Mr. Mitsunaga told the gathering of defense and prosecution lawyers that the local agency would continue to require approximately the same amount of local support. Programs under discussion at present, Mr. Mitsunaga revealed, involve possible 1 lWfry Slate agescf r cortunatk with Sim . !

Members of the section discussed the vital issue of the future character of the SLLDA as a project vs. a community supported project. It was generally agreed that "It must be kept out of politics and it should be kept out of government control. A proposal was made to keep the agency within a strictly State or County Bar character by asking members of the bar to contribute up to $10 per year to make up most of the needed support financ- terry boys9 oft 0 i'a ilu i li rfuJ Ut department after our Joint inspection, Mr. Larson said.

Named to the committee to meet with the agency board were Mr. Banks, Justice of the Peace George Searle and defense counsel Sumner J. Hatch. Critical questions asked by Mr. Banks and echoed by others of the prosecution-defens- e contingent of the bar included: Why is it a bar obligation? Why have steps not been taken to contact members of the bar? If action is not taken at once, " he continued, the organization will suffer, and in turn the bar will suffer. Brent Lynch commented that ln reaching for help It doesnt appear that the board has taken a good look at the problem. The legal defender agency, Mr. Lynch said, belongs to the people as a part of the criminal process of Justice.
