The Virginia Indigent Defense Commission (VIDC) is a public entity established by statute in 2004 to ensure representation for individuals who cannot afford private counsel in criminal cases. It oversees 25 public defender offices and four capital defender offices across Virginia, operating from a central administrative office that certifies attorneys for case appointments and maintains the list of certified counsel. The organization sets standards for court-appointed counsel in non-capital cases, requires ongoing recertification, and develops training programs to improve the quality of criminal defense. Its mission centers on supporting high-quality defense services for vulnerable Virginians, with a focus on maintaining constitutional rights to counsel. Based in Henrico, Virginia, the VIDC operates within the law practice sector, coordinating public defense resources to address access to justice in the state.
