Investigative Services Detailed Budget Worksheet for Non-capital Representations with the Potential for Extraordinary Cost
This detailed budget worksheet is for use by counsel in preparing the summary of anticipated investigative services for representations that "appear likely to become or have become extraordinary in terms of potential cost" as set forth in subparagraph 2.22B(4) of the Guidelines for the Administration of the Criminal Justice Act and Related Statutes, Volume VII, Guide to Judiciary Policies and Procedures. The figure at the end of each section should be transferred to the summary budget worksheet for submission to the court. (In some instances, the court may request the detailed worksheet as well as the summary.) The document automatically totals hours and dollar amounts.
