NLADA-VISTA Data Systems Analyst, Solano County, CA
About The Position
The Solano County Public Defender provides excellent and compassionate legal representation to indigent adults and juveniles who are facing a loss of liberty due to criminal charges and civil commitments. We are focused on moving toward a holistic defense model which seeks to represent the whole person rather than just providing a legal defense to their criminal case. By connecting our clients with additional services, we can help reduce recidivism and help our clients be successful. Clients who are accepted into Mental Health Diversion (MHD) receive support in accessing services to address their needs. When they successfully complete the program, their cases are dismissed. The goal of our VISTA project is to more fully utilize the capabilities of our case management system, and improve the tracking of our Mental Health Diversion program, including 1) which clients are being evaluated for MHD by their attorneys, (2) when are MHD petitions filed, (3) are MHD petitions granted or denied, (4) are MHD motions receiving equal treatment by all judges who review them, (5) which clients successfully complete MHD, and (6) to review each step for disparities.
