Welcome to the Indiana Commission on Court Appointed Attorneys Website!
Since 1989, the Indiana Commission on Court Appointed Attorneys (CCAA) has served to create standards for public defense services in Indiana Counties or Regional Systems that choose to uphold those standards in exchange for a partial reimbursement of county expenses in non-capital cases. The Commission also provides standards and partial reimbursement to all counties in capital (death penalty) cases and Federal Title 4-E Funding to ALL counties that request funding.
The Commission is an independent, judicial branch state agency of Indiana's state government.
There are three separate state agencies that provide support to Indiana's locally-based public defense services. The agencies and their primary duties are listed below.
