AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 9 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEYS AND OTHER LEGAL PROFESSIONALS EMPLOYED WITH NEW CASTLE COUNTY.
This bill directly responds to New Castle County Council Resolution 26-018 by expressly authorizing New Castle County Council to establish a right of tenure for New Castle County’s Assistant County Attorneys and other professional legal staff by ordinance. Like the similar rights granted to the employees of the State of Delaware Department of Justice and the City of Wilmington’s legal staff, these rights will serve to promote recruitment and retention of high-quality legal professionals, promote continuity of legal services, and further the public’s interest in the provision of independent legal advice.
