Programs

The Executive Division is charged with the responsibility of managing and operating the agency and implementing the Indigent Defense Act, found in Sections 1355 -1370.1 of Title 22 of the Oklahoma Statutes.  By statute, the Executive Director is selected by and serves at the pleasure of the Board.

To aid the Executive Director in the implementation of the Indigent Defense Act and agency operations, the Deputy Executive Director oversees the System's Finance Unit along with all administrative functions within the agency.  The Finance Unit maintains hundreds of contracts  each year with private attorneys and expert service providers in Oklahoma, and processes claims for payment of those professional services.

The powers and duties of the Executive Director are set out in the Indigent Defense Act at Section 1355.4 of Title 22.  In addition to being responsible for the overall operations of the agency, the Executive Director is required by statute to take actions to improve the criminal justice system in the State, to provide training and continuing legal education to indigent defenders throughout the State, to recommend legislation, to submit an annual report on the implementation of the Indigent Defense Act, and to take measures to ensure effective representation for indigent criminal defendants.

When conflicts of interest make it impossible for the System to represent an indigent defendant, the case is contracted to private counsel willing to provide legal services at rates established by the System.  The Executive Division is responsible for providing conflict counsel and defense services in all capital trial and appeal cases and non-capital appeals.
