Kansas State Board of Indigents' Defense Services

Pittsburg, Kansas

Do you have a passion for expanding access to justice? The Kansas Board of Indigents’ Defense Services is establishing a new office in Pittsburg, Kansas, a jurisdiction where we’ve never had an office.

We are looking for innovative and passionate attorneys who are eager to help set the culture and standards for a new office. If you’re looking for an opportunity to create something meaningful in the legal field, this is your chance!


Job Number:  01-250228-01: Deputy Public Defender (PD IV)


Company Name:  Kansas State Board of Indigents' Defense Services


Deputy Public Defender (Public Defender IV):

The Kansas State Board of Indigents’ Defense Services is accepting applications for the position of Deputy Public Defender (PD IV) in the Eleventh Judicial District Public Defender Office in Pittsburg, Kansas. This office will serve Crawford, Labette, and Cherokee County.

The position of Deputy Public Defender is reserved for attorneys who hold a formal and designated supervisory position, and who act as part of their office’s management team.

The Mission:

The Board of Indigents’ Defense Services (BIDS), through its regional public defender offices like the Eleventh Judicial District Public Defender Office, represents adults charged with felonies who cannot hire an attorney. By supporting and elevating public defense in the State of Kansas, BIDS empowers its team to provide relentless representation and collaborative, holistic advocacy in service of client-centered outcomes.

The Kansas State Board of Indigents’ Defense Services is in the process of remaking its public defense model with a renewed emphasis on building public defense offices with an interdisciplinary team-based collaborative defense system that uses community connections and resources to better represent not just an individual’s case, but the client as a whole.

The office of the Eleventh Judicial District Public Defender is entirely new in Pittsburg, Kansas.

Deputy Public Defenders assist the Chief Public Defender in addressing office matters and larger criminal justice issues in their jurisdiction.

Deputy Public Defenders represent adults charged with criminal felonies in their local district court jurisdiction who are deemed indigent and unable to afford to hire an attorney. They also carry a slightly reduced caseload to allow for their duties providing active supervision of the other attorneys and support staff in the office, as directed by the Chief Public Defender.

Deputy Defenders are readily and regularly accessible to the employees in the office. Deputy Defenders help to develop a positive office culture and support and implement the directives of the Chief Public Defender and the Executive Director. Deputy Defenders may help the Chief Public Defender write objective and comprehensive employee evaluations, recognize and answer ethical questions, and make client-conflict determinations, among other office management duties.

University of Missouri School of Law

Columbia, Missouri

The University of Missouri School of Law is seeking applicants to serve as the Director of the Criminal Practice Clinic.

To fill this position the School of Law invites applications from experienced attorneys who are committed to preparing students to become just, ethical, and effective prosecutors and public defenders.



Job Number:  01-250207-04: Director Criminal Practice Clinic and Associate Clinical Professor of Law


Company Name:  University of Missouri School of Law


Prior to enrolling in the Criminal Practice Clinic, students will complete a semester course entitled Missouri Criminal Practice. This course is similar to a Trial Practice course, but with special focus on Missouri criminal practice and procedure. The course centers on a criminal case fact pattern which is used in simulations from the drafting of charges through sentencing and post-sentencing procedures.

The Criminal Practice Clinic, itself, is a hybrid live-client clinical program. It consists of hands-on practical experience through a field placement in a local public defender or prosecutor office supervised by Clinic faculty, along with a weekly classroom component and faculty assistance preparing for court appearances and providing substantive feedback.

For the field placements, students are assigned to an attorney in their respective offices. Under Rule 13, students handle cases from their assigned attorney’s caseload with increasing responsibility and proficiency as the semester progresses. Clinic faculty, including the director, oversee the classroom component of the course. Clinic faculty assist in the preparation of pleadings and court appearances, review written work throughout the semester, and engage in practice arguments and witness examinations with students prior to court hearings. The director and other clinic faculty attend court hearings to provide feedback to students.

The individual hired as Director of the Criminal Practice Clinic will have the title of Associate Clinical Professor of Law.
The position is a regular, non-tenure track position.
General duties will include teaching the Missouri Criminal Practice course, one section of the Criminal Practice Clinic, and additional courses related to criminal law.
As clinic students will work with a prosecutor’s or public defender office, the Director will work closely with agencies and attorneys working with our students, oversee student interaction with those offices and clients, facilitate students access to resources required for their assistance with representation, review proposed drafts of student work and preparations for trial, and otherwise oversee the education of the clinic’s students.



Interested Parties/How to Apply:     

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.

It is the hope of the School of Law to conduct interviews and select a candidate during the spring semester of 2025.

To apply, please submit a cover letter indicating interest in the position, a CV, and three names of references at https://hr.missouri.edu/job-openings. The job ID is 54690.
