Our
Mission
The Georgia Public Defender Standards
Council is an independent agency within the executive
branch of the state government of Georgia . The mission
of the Georgia Public Defender Standards Council is to
ensure, independently of political considerations or private
interests, that each client whose cause has been entrusted
to a circuit public defender receives zealous, adequate,
effective, timely, and ethical legal representation,
consistent with the guarantees of the Constitution of
the State of Georgia, the Constitution of the United States
and the mandates of the Georgia Indigent Defense Act of
2003; to provide all such legal services in a cost efficient
manner; and to conduct that representation in such a way
that the criminal justice system operates effectively
to achieve justice.
