Le document pr\u00e9sente une \u00e9tude ind\u00e9pendante conduite pour le Los Angeles County Public Defender\u2019s Office (LACPD), principale agence publique de d\u00e9fense p\u00e9nale des \u00c9tats-Unis, qui couvre pr\u00e8s de 10 millions d\u2019habitants dans le comt\u00e9 de Los Angeles et emploie plus de 700 avocats. L\u2019objet de l\u2019\u00e9tude est d\u2019analyser les charges de travail des avocats de la d\u00e9fense publique dans un contexte de transformation du syst\u00e8me de justice p\u00e9nale en Californie, marqu\u00e9 par de nouvelles r\u00e9formes l\u00e9gislatives, le d\u00e9veloppement de programmes de diversion et la multiplication des preuves num\u00e9riques.<\/p>\n
LACPD dispose d\u2019un dispositif interne, le \u00ab Case Complexity System \u00bb (CCS), qui attribue un score algorithmique de complexit\u00e9 \u00e0 chaque affaire. La direction a souhait\u00e9 faire \u00e9valuer de mani\u00e8re rigoureuse ce syst\u00e8me et, plus largement, la capacit\u00e9 organisationnelle du service \u00e0 assurer une repr\u00e9sentation efficace de ses usagers dans un contexte de complexification des dossiers et de contraintes de ressources. L\u2019\u00e9tude poursuit deux objectifs : v\u00e9rifier dans quelle mesure le CCS refl\u00e8te effectivement la complexit\u00e9 des affaires et les charges de travail associ\u00e9es, et tirer des enseignements sur la r\u00e9partition des charges et les besoins de moyens.<\/p>\n
Pour appr\u00e9cier la complexit\u00e9 des dossiers et la charge de travail, les auteurs mobilisent trois mesures ind\u00e9pendantes : une \u00e9tude de temps fond\u00e9e sur les heures d\u00e9clar\u00e9es par les avocats sur une p\u00e9riode de huit semaines ; un panel Delphi compos\u00e9 d\u2019avocats exp\u00e9riment\u00e9s de LACPD charg\u00e9 d\u2019\u00e9valuer la complexit\u00e9 des affaires ; et les scores g\u00e9n\u00e9r\u00e9s par l\u2019algorithme CCS. Ces donn\u00e9es quantitatives sont compl\u00e9t\u00e9es par des entretiens qualitatifs avec des avocats, l\u2019exploitation de cinq ann\u00e9es de donn\u00e9es de gestion des dossiers, ainsi qu\u2019une analyse des modalit\u00e9s d\u2019affectation des affaires et du recours aux personnels de soutien.<\/p>\n
Sur cette base, le rapport propose une synth\u00e8se des constats et formule des recommandations pour am\u00e9liorer l\u2019affectation de la charge de travail entre avocats et optimiser l\u2019utilisation des ressources, dans le but de mieux r\u00e9pondre aux besoins des personnes d\u00e9fendues dans le comt\u00e9 de Los Angeles. L\u2019\u00e9tude met l\u2019accent sur les enjeux de capacit\u00e9 institutionnelle et d\u2019organisation du travail li\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9volution du cadre l\u00e9gislatif et des pratiques judiciaires, \u00e9l\u00e9ments susceptibles d\u2019int\u00e9resser les administrations publiques dans une perspective de comparaison internationale des syst\u00e8mes de d\u00e9fense publique et de gestion des charges de travail dans le champ de la justice et des politiques sociales.(contenu r\u00e9sum\u00e9 en fran\u00e7ais par l’IA)\u00a0Lire la
