by Ord. No. 745]
There is hereby created the office of Municipal Court Public Defender
who shall be nominated by the Mayor, with the advice and consent of the Council,
at the organizational meeting, or at any time thereafter, in the event such
appointment by the Mayor and Council is deemed advisable or necessary.
The term of office of the Municipal Court Public Defender, whose office
is herein created, shall be at the pleasure of the Mayor and Council, but
in any event shall expire on December 31 of the year in which said Municipal
Court Public Defender is appointed.
The Municipal Court Public Defender shall provide all necessary and
desirable legal counsel and advice required for the defense of cases in the
Municipal Court of the Borough of Shrewsbury on behalf of those indigent defendants
who are entitled by law to appointment of counsel and as approved by the Municipal
Court Judge.
Every person who makes application to the Shrewsbury Borough Municipal
Court for representation by the Public Defender in any matter pending before
