Most-quoted passages

  1. “the status of a 'county employee.' " In making this determination, the court in Kurata considered the following: 38 "The office of public defender is created by statute in 'An Act in relation to the office of Public Defender' (Ill.Rev.Stat.1979, ch. 34, par. 5601 et seq.). The public defender's salary and expenses are paid from the county treasury. (Pars. 5605, 5607.) These provisions, plus the fact that the public defender is represented here by the State's Attorney, persuades us that the public defender is an official of the county. (See dissenting opinion in People v. South (1979), 70 Ill.App.3d 245, 26 Ill.Dec. 366, 387 N.E.2d 1294.) As such, an assistant public defender, such as plaintiff, has the status of 'county employee' within the purview of the county personnel policy.”
