The CJA 27 Form Statement for Excess Compensation Claim is a document used to request payment for services rendered by a court-appointed attorney in a criminal case. It is a form used by the defense attorney to request compensation beyond the fees and expenses approved under the Criminal Justice Act (CJA). The form includes sections for the attorney to provide details of the service rendered, and to provide an itemized list of the fees and expenses requested. There are two types of CJA 27 Form Statement for Excess Compensation Claim: one for attorneys appointed in district court cases and one for attorneys appointed in appellate court cases. The district court form includes spaces for the attorney to provide detailed information about the services rendered, including the type of case, the date of appointment, the number of hours worked, the hourly rate requested, and reasons for the request for excess compensation. The appellate court form includes similar details, but also includes sections to provide details of the hourly rate requested, the hours worked, and the reasons for the request for excess compensation.
