I represent a defendant in a criminal case. What happens if he/she appears as a witness against another defendant?

FAQ Type: 
Answer: 
If a defendant in a criminal case is going to appear as a witness against another defendant, a separate CJA appointment must be made. Fees and expenses should be tracked separately from the case in which the witness is the defendant, and a separate CJA 20 voucher must be filed for the witness representation. The statutory maximum for such appointment falls in the “All Others” category. The clerk's office should immediately be advised if such a witness arrangement is made so that the necessary appointment forms can be prepared.
