The New York State Commission on the Future of Indigent Defense Services is charged with performing a top-to-bottom examination of the State's criminal indigent defense system and developing a blueprint for reform. Chaired by Judge Burton Roberts and Professor William Hellerstein, the Commission will examine:
- the current method of funding indigent defense services
- the effectiveness of the various types of criminal defense systems in use throughout the State
- the quality of the representation afforded indigent criminal defendants, the adequacy of the training received by the attorneys who deliver these services
- the availability and quality of ancillary resources such as investigative and interpretive services
