This is a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by the Office of State Public Defender (OPD) in Montana for contract attorneys to provide legal representation in criminal and civil matters. The solicitation, numbered OPD-RFP/RFQ-2021-0106, was opened on 3/9/2021 and has an unusually long closing date of 1/1/2099. Attorneys interested in becoming Contract Public Defenders are required to submit several documents, including a completed MOU, current resume, writing sample, proof of professional liability insurance, and their most recent Continuing Legal Education (CLE) transcript.

The solicitation does not specify specific financial terms, pricing structures, or funding sources. The primary focus is on qualifying attorneys to provide contract legal services across the state.
