I f "Part-time prosecutors short change the criminal justice system. 1 ) They cannot devote their fullest energies and time to developing an effective case. Often their private practice takes precedence I over their prosecutorial duties due to financial considerations 1 and conflict of interest problems interfere with proper adminis- ) tration of justice." 1 Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice in Mountainand ( Mountainlands Council of Governments, 1977.

To be There to do the Job When it Needs to Be Done. When a I citizen comes in with a problem or an Officer of the Law comes in 1 for help, they deserve to talk to an Attorney, not to a secretary. i Casey Christensen will be there when he is needed.
