| Welcome to the official web site for the office of Jack Behr, Public Defender for the First Judicial Circuit. This site was established to provide information to the public about the Public Defender's Office and the criminal Justice System. In addition we have provided links to other sites that we feel may be of assistance to you. The Public Defender's Office is responsible for providing legal counsel, when appointed by the Court, to those accused of criminal offenses who cannot afford to hire a lawyer. The office can be appointed to defend individuals charged with felonies, misdemeanors, or criminal traffic offenses in the Circuit and County Courts. It also defends children charged in Juvenile Court, and individuals facing involuntary commitment for mental treatment under the Baker Act. The Public Defender is elected for a four-year term. |
