联邦法院面临资金危机,使贫穷的被告面临缺乏法律代理的风险。 Federal courts face funding crisis, leaving indigent defendants at risk of lacking legal representation.

联邦法院正面临资金危机,自7月3日以来,律师因代表贫穷被告而无报酬。 Federal courts are facing a funding crisis that leaves lawyers unpaid for representing indigent defendants since July 3. 如果国会不提供1.16亿美元的额外资金,法院指定的律师就可能停止受理新案件,可能使被告没有法律代理。 Without $116 million in additional funding from Congress, court-appointed lawyers may stop taking new cases, potentially leaving defendants without legal representation. 在北达科他州,大约10名律师已经辞去该小组的职务,这有可能造成审判延误和法庭效力降低。 In North Dakota, about 10 attorneys have already resigned from the panel, risking trial delays and reduced court effectiveness.
