Are you motivated to correct injustices in Colorado Municipal Courts? The Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel (OADC) is looking for an innovative Municipal Courts Program Manager to join our team. In this role, you'll be at the forefront of shaping novel solutions for individuals charged in municipal courts and supporting the attorneys who defend them. Working closely with the Municipal Court Innovations Coordinator, you'll oversee the operations of two critical programs: one focused on ensuring independent, competent legal representation across the state, and the other providing direct representation in municipalities under contract with the OADC. This position offers a unique opportunity to manage vital administrative duties, solve problems, and contribute to municipal court reform in Colorado. If you are detail-oriented, proactive, and passionate about equity in criminal defense, we want to hear from you!      About Us:    The Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel (OADC) is the legislatively created state agency responsible for providing client services and legal representation for indigent individuals (adults and youth) when the state has charged them with a criminal or delinquent act and the state public defender’s office has a conflict of interest. The OADC accomplishes this by contracting with over 400 private attorneys and another 500 legal service providers (social workers, paralegals, investigators, legal researchers, case assistants, legal interns, etc.) to provide client services on an hourly basis. Our fundamental belief is that good holistic legal defense teams produce superior results for our clients.     Mission Statement:     The mission of the Office of the Alternate Defense Counsel (OADC), through the practice of holistic public defense, is to help adults and children whom the government has charged with criminal and delinquent offenses. The OADC’s holistic practice model fosters ethical, informed, and standard-driven best practices in public defense. The OADC allocates resources in a manner intentionally designed to rebalance the disparate power wielded by the government in the criminal legal system. The OADC advocates for every client’s inherent worth and dignity by centering the client’s lived experiences and voice to achieve the best legal outcome.      The OADC is dedicated to zealous, client-centered advocacy rooted in social justice, integrity, and humility. We recognize that we are working within a broken and racist criminal legal system. Public defense advocates play an essential role in challenging bias and disparity within the courtroom, within our offices, and within ourselves. Statistical data and experiences support that there is a disparate presence of violent policing, over-charging, and harsher sentencing outcomes for Colorado’s people of color and other vulnerable populations. The OADC is unwavering in its support of decarceration, the decriminalization of youth, and equity within the criminal legal system.      About the Job:   OADC’s role in municipal courts came about as a result of municipal court reform efforts. We ensure that eligible clients charged with a municipal ordinance violation that carry any possibility of incarceration are represented and represented by independent and constitutionally competent counsel. The Municipal Court Program Manager will be an essential part of our two-person team working alongside the Municipal Court Innovations Coordinator to breathe life into these reform efforts.       As the Municipal Courts Program Manager, you will manage the day-to-day operations of two key programs: the Municipal Court Program (MCP) and the Municipal Court Appointed Program (MCAP). The MCP program focuses on evaluating municipal courts across the state to ensure their lawyers are independent and competent. MCAP is our program to provide direct representation in specific municipalities under contract with OADC.      The Municipal Courts Program Manager will be responsible for tasks such as:       Administer and implement OADC's municipal court programs, taking ownership of tasks and ensuring timely execution.    Assist in planning and strategizing initiatives aimed at improving municipal court defense statewide.    Organize trainings for municipal court defenders.    Assist with municipal court observations. Oversee the coordination and ensure the successful execution of an extensive number of meetings and court observations. Identify challenges within municipal court programs and propose innovative solutions.     Provide regular updates to municipal court contractors and court-appointed counsel, ensuring clear and consistent communication.    Utilize tech tools like Airtable or other program management tools to enhance workflows and track program performance.    Collect and analyze data related to access to counsel and sentencing outcomes.    Provide administrative support, including managing communications, scheduling, and database updates.    Stay informed on specific municipal court policies and procedures. Stay informed on proposed legislation or changes to municipal ordinances that will impact defense lawyers.    Collaborate with other OADC programs.   This is a dynamic position where duties will evolve, and the position should anticipate fulfilling some other duties as assigned that are reasonable and necessary to fulfill OADC’s mission.       The OADC is a collaborative agency designed for people who thrive in a team environment. The Municipal Court Program Manager reports to the Municipal Court Innovations Coordinator and will periodically engage with other OADC team members.      This position is primarily remote, with occasional on-site requirements at the Denver office as needed.   About You:    The OADC is a collaborative agency where teamwork is essential.
