Since 2001, the Office of Indigent Defense Services (“IDS”) has overseen legal representation for indigent defendants and others entitled to counsel in North Carolina. Created by an act of the N.C. General Assembly, the organization works daily to make real the Constitution`s right to counsel for those charged with crimes or who face significant deprivations to their liberty. IDS trains, qualifies, and sets performance standards for attorneys, as well as determines the most appropriate and cost-effective methods for delivering legal defense services in each of the state`s judicial districts. It is committed to recruiting North Carolina`s most talented attorneys to represent indigent defendants and to providing those attorneys with the resources they need to be effective. IDS works diligently to anticipate and resolve systemic issues that impact defenders and their clients. For two decades, it has distinguished itself nationally as a leader in the development of innovative, high quality, cost-effective, and accountable indigent defense programs. Many states, including Georgia, Texas and Virginia, have looked to IDS`s example and establishing act for guidance in improving their own defense systems. The organization`s programmatic work includes efforts to increase communication and resource-sharing with the private bar; the development of legal training programs, often in partnership with the UNC School of Government; the establishment of a specialized Office of the Juvenile Defender; and the creation of performance guidelines for appointed counsel across a number of practice areas. IDS also works regularly with the Offices of the Capital Defender and Appellate Defender to recruit and evaluate attorneys for their respective rosters, ensure their appointments in a timely and equitable manner, and to support them with expert services. IDS and its staff are committed to the continued delivery of quality legal services to indigent persons throughout North Carolina.

The City of Oxnard is located on the “Gold Coast” of sunny California, approximately halfway between Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, and is known as the gateway to the Channel Islands. Oxnard is a thriving center of commerce, tourism and industry in Ventura County. Oxnard is the largest city in the County with its population of over 200,000 residents. Oxnard services the needs of its culturally diverse population.

The City also operates more than 50 park facilities for its residents, as well as special purpose facilities. Oxnard`s leadership has adopted a plan with vision and conviction for an exciting future to further enhance business development and the quality of life. Oxnard is the only full-service city in Ventura County. Incorporated as a general law city in 1903, Oxnard operates under the council-manager form of government. The City consists of an elected Mayor holding a two-year term and four council members elected at large for four-year overlapping terms. The City Council acts as the Community Development Commission`s Successor Agency and, supplemented by two tenant commissioners, as the Housing Authority. The City Council is advised by several citizen commissions and committees. The population has grown significantly in the last fifty years, providing many challenges to local government and residents. Oxnard continually offers many opportunities for its enterprising and forward-thinking business community, while maintaining a family-friendly environment, as evidenced by the new parks that have opened throughout the City. As Oxnard evolves, the City will continue to strive to maintain a balance between its residents` needs and being a “business friendly” community.
