Nev. Admin. Code § 180.Sec. 44 - NEW
1. Each county whose population is less than
100,000 shall include in its plan a requirement for time reporting by attorneys
who provide indigent defense services. Such a report must be submitted on an
annual basis and provide:
(a) The total
number of hours an attorney spent providing indigent defense services in each
case;
(b) The total number of hours
that investigators worked on each case;
(c) The total number of hours that staff
worked on each case;
(d) The total
number of hours that expert witnesses worked on each case; and
(e) The total number of hours an attorney
spent on any private workload.
2. A plan must require that time entries be:
(a) Kept as close to contemporaneous as
reasonably practicable to ensure the accuracy of time reporting and the ability
of the Department to generate quarterly reports; and
(b) Recorded in increments of one-tenth of an
hour.
3. As used in this
section, "staff" means a paralegal, as that term is defined in the bylaws of
the Paralegal Division of the State Bar of Nevada, or a similar
employee.
4. In each county whose
population is 100,000 or more, time records must be kept only during the
periods in which weighted caseload studies are conducted pursuant to section 42
of this regulation.
