What does ADC do in municipal courts?
- ADC is involved in two key municipal court programs: the Municipal Court Direct Representation program (MCDR) and the Municipal Court Evaluation program (MCE). MCDR is our program to provide direct representation in specific municipalities under contract with ADC. MCE focuses on evaluating municipal courts across the state to ensure their lawyers are independent and competent.
