<b><u>this Thursday, July 30<sup>th</sup>, at noon</u></b> to solicit input from public defense providers on our policies and procedures related to legal services contracts. More specifically, we would like to hear from providers about how we can improve our
procedures for issuing and responding to Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for legal services, and how we can create more transparent and equitable policies for evaluating proposals and offering contracts. All public defense providers are welcome to join this
conversation, including consortia contract administrators and members, non-profit leadership and employees, law firm leadership and employees, and individual attorneys who contract with OPDS.<o:p></o:p></p>
