English term

conflict attorney

English to Spanish Law/Patents Law (general)
In the courts where I work sometimes a conflict attorney is assigned to an indigent defendant when the public defender's office can't represent him because of a conflict of interest. The public defender's office might be representing a client involved in the same matter, for example, or the defendant has some sort of relationship with someone at the public defender's office. Any ideas?

This may be country and target specific, and this you have not stated, but see entry below for context.

A conflict attorney is a private attorney who works with, but not for, the public defender's office. A lawyer can only represent one defendant per case as multiple defendants have conflicting interests. When a PD declares a conflict a private attorney is appointed to represent the 2nd defendant.Jun 25, 2009
