Compensation rates vary by state, and in some cases, within states. There are several different approaches to compensating assigned counsel for capital cases. These include a statutory hourly rate, a rate set by administrative or court rule, a public defender, a state commission on indigent defense, a reasonable compensation rate, and a combination system. In June 2007, the Spangenberg Group published Rates of Compensation for Court-Appointed Counsel in Capital Cases at Trial: A State-by-State Overview.  more
