The New York Defendant Worksheet is a form used by New York lawyers to collect and organize information about a defendant in a criminal case. It is a single page document that includes the defendant's name, address, contact information, date of birth, crime alleged, and a list of important documents such as the criminal complaint, arrest warrant, and/or indictment. The form also includes space to enter details about the court hearing, including type of hearing, date, and time. There are two main types of New York Defendant Worksheets — the Uniform Court Arraignment Part (UCAP) and the Uniform Court Appearance Part (CAP). The CAP worksheet includes information about the defendant's plea, bail, and other court proceedings. The CAP also includes a section for the defendant's attorney's notes. The CAP worksheet is typically prepared at the time of arraignment. The CAP worksheet is typically used for misdemeanor and felony cases. The CAP worksheet is also used in cases involving arraignment for a DWI or other traffic-related offenses. The CAP is used by the court and defense attorney to ensure that all relevant information is entered in the case file. The CAP worksheet is also used in criminal cases involving juveniles. In these cases, the court may enter additional information, such as the juvenile's age, school records, and other pertinent information. The CAP worksheet is also used in cases involving defendants who are under supervision, such as probation or parole. In these cases, the worksheet includes additional information such as the defendant's probation or parole officer and the terms of supervision. The CAP worksheet is an important document in any criminal case, as it provides an organized record of the defendant’s information and proceedings. This document is essential for the defense attorney to present a strong case on behalf of the defendant.
