7    Sec. 3-4006. Duties of public defender. The Public
8Defender, as directed by the court, shall act as attorney,
9without fee, before any court within any county for all persons
10who are held in custody or who are charged with the commission
11of any criminal offense, and who the court finds are unable to
12employ counsel.
13    The Public Defender shall be the attorney, without fee,

1of Abortion Act of 1983 for any party who the court finds is
2financially unable to employ counsel.
3    In a homicide case involving a minor who was at least 13
4years of age but not older than 17 years of age at the time of
5commission of the offense, that occurs in a county with a
6full-time public defender office, a public defender, without
7fee or appointment, may represent and have access to a minor
8during a custodial interrogation. In a homicide case involving
9a minor who was at least 13 years of age but not older than 17
10years of age at the time of commission of the offense, that
11occurs in a county that does not have a full-time public
12defender, the law enforcement agency conducting the custodial
13interrogation shall ensure that the minor is able to consult
14with an attorney who is under contract with the county to
15provide public defender services. Representation by the public
16defender shall terminate at the first court appearance if the
17court determines that the minor is not indigent.
18    Every court shall, with the consent of the defendant and
19where the court finds that the rights of the defendant would be
20prejudiced by the appointment of the public defender, appoint
21counsel other than the public defender, except as otherwise
22provided in Section 113-3 of the "Code of Criminal Procedure of
231963". That counsel shall be compensated as is provided by law.
24He shall also, in the case of the conviction of any such
25person, prosecute any proceeding in review which in his
26judgment the interests of justice require.
