CASE NO. REQUEST FOR APPOINTED COUNSEL

CR

Defendant.

I wish to have a lawyer and cannot afford to pay for one. I request that the court appoint a lawyer to represent me. I understand that: 1. I must provide to the court all financial information requested by the court so the court can decide if I qualify for an appointed attorney. 2. Any financial information provided by me may be made available to the Attorney General after the conclusion of this case. If I give false information, the false information may be used to prosecute me for perjury under Alaska Statute 11.56.200. 3. If my financial situation changes and I do not report this to the court, the law requires my appointed attorney to do so. 4. If I am convicted, the court will enter a judgment against me which will require me to pay part of the cost of my appointed attorney. In most cases the court will use the schedule on the back of this form to determine the amount I will be required to pay. However, before the court decides, I will have a chance to ask the judge to order a lower amount. After the judgment is entered, I may request the court to reduce the amount of the judgment if payment would cause manifest hardship to me or my family. GENERAL WAIVER I authorize anyone to release to the Alaska Court System all information concerning my assets, liabilities, account balances and any income source I have had for the past three years. This includes but is not limited to all current and past employers, banks, credit and depository institutions, accountants, brokers and credit bureaus.
