Federal Court Adds Indigent Defenders
Judge Sidney 0. Smith, Jr.,
Chief Judge of the United
States District Court for the
Northern District of Georgia,
announced to the Board of
Governors of the State Bar of
Georgia today, at their
regular meeting in
Gainesville, that the Court
had established a community
defender service to provide
legal representation for in
digent persons charged with
criminal offenses in the
United States District Court
for the Northern District of
Georgia.
The United States District
Court for the Northern
District of Georgia, pursuant
to a study by the Emory
University School of Law,
developed a plan under the
Criminal Justice Act of 1964,
as amended in 1970,
establishing such an
organization for the defense
of the indigent. The plan was
submitted to the Judicial
Council of the Fifth Circuit for
approval. After obtaining
approval from the Fifth
Circuit Judicial Council, the
plan was submitted to the
Judicial Conference of the
United States and was ap
proved by that body at its
most recent meeting.

crossbar equipment as early
as January. The scheduled
completion date for the
cutover from the old No. 355
step office to the new No. 5 is
September 1974.”
Stapleton said that the new
central office is being built
due to the heavy growth of
Forsyth County and the
number of telephones being
added. “In 1972 alone,” he
said, “Forsyth County was
growing at a rate of 25 per
cent of total telephones which

program is the first one
developed in Georgia, the
second in the Fifth Circuit,
and is one of only ap
proximately fifteen such
programs operating in the
United States. Under the
Criminal Justice Act, any
federal court having more
than 200 appointments for
representation of indigents on
an annual basis may be
eligible for consideration for
such a plan. The Northern
District of Georgia currently
appoints attorneys to
represent more than 1,000
indigent defendants each
year.

is one of the heaviest growth
areas in the state of Georgia.
Reference is made to this
because of the heavy
population growth to the lake
orientated businesses and
residences. It seems that a lot
of people are moving up from
Atlanta and establishing not
only second homes but per
manent residences here. We
realize this is the place where
the growth of Atlanta is
spreading and we expect even
heavier growth when in
service. It provides for a non
profit corporation approved
by the federal judiciary and
funded by the federal
government solely for the
purpose of employing at
torneys to represent indigent
defendants in the trial of
cases before the United States
Courts. The non-profit cor
poration will be governed by a
board of directors which was
appointed by the unanimous
consent of the judges of the
Northern District of Georgia.
Attorney A. G. Cleveland, Jr.,
a past president of the State
Bar of Georgia was named as
Chairman of the Board of
Directors. Other directors
appointed by the Court are:

residences in Forsyth County
do work there.”
Stapleton said that
Southern Bell is spending
over $906 million in Georgia

telephone construction.

Orange Vests Saving Hunters?
It may have made some
Georgia deer hunters mad,
but it seems to be working.
The new state regulation
requiring all persons hunting
deer during firearms season
to wear 500 square inches of
international daylight
flourescent orange material,
appears to be having an effect
on hunter casualties during
the deer season in Georgia.
As of November 14, 1973,
some eleven days after the
state-wide opening of the
firearms season for deer in
the State, there have been
only two hunter casualties
reported, neither of which
was fatal. This total does not
include two fatal accidents

that the Federal Defender
