Attorney in Assigned Counsel Program Did Not Have Standing To Sue County for More Pay

An attorney who participated in Onondaga County’s Assigned Counsel Program (ACP) sued the county and the program for money damages, claiming he was entitled to more pay for the legal work he had done, and for a declaratory judgment finding that the AVP manual was a nullity because the regulations in the manual usurped the authority of judges to fix assigned-counsel compensation. The Court of Appeals determined the attorney did not have standing to bring the lawsuit. Roulan v County of Onondaga…, No 62, CtApp, 4-30- 13
