  Attorneys who represent clients who cannot afford to hire their own lawyer vary, said Al Jean Bogle, clerk of superior court for Catawba County, but all do it because they want to.
  
  "Being a court-appointed attorney is how a lot of attorneys build their practices," Bogle said. "Some are just out of law school, and some have a solo practice. For some attorneys, this is the bulk of their practice, and for others, they only do a few court-appointed cases."
  
  Once an attorney has been appointed, the clock starts ticking. Court-appointed lawyers are paid $75 an hour, for each lawyer working on a case, Bogle said. Ten years ago, when she first started, Bogle said they were paid $50 an hour. They also get paid the state rate for mileage. This was 51.5 cents a mile until the state budget crisis reduced it to 26 cents a mile.
  
  "When an attorney finishes the case, they submit a fee application to me, getting paid for the hours they worked, mileage and the costs of defending. This includes summonses, subpoenas and other things," Bogle said. "They get paid when the case is finished."
  
  Bogle sends the fee application to IDS in Durham, and they pay the attorneys.
  ...
  If they are found not guilty, they do not have to pay, Bogle said.
  
  Attorneys on list
  
  To get on the court-appointed attorney list, Bogle said attorneys must apply with IDS.
  ...
  Attorneys are appointed to clients on a rotating basis, Bogle said. Attorneys are asked to give the clerk of court a stack of their business cards. They are divided up, between misdemeanor, non-serious felonies and serious felonies piles, and listed alphabetically. When a case comes up, the next attorney's name in the stack is the person who will be appointed, Bogle said.
  
  "One person griped that she wasn't getting any court appointments," Bogle said.

  The number of foreclosures nearly tripled in the past two years -- from 462 in 2001 to 1,127 last year, said Catawba County Clerk of Court Al Jean Bogle.
  
  Bogle, who conducts the county's bankruptcy hearings, knows the numbers by heart.And she remembers dates like Aug.21, 2003, which brought 17 hearings in one day.
  
  "I've seen them sit here, with their little toddlers on their laps, and I just want to cry," she said.
  
  When Bogle first took over the clerk's post four years ago, most foreclosure cases seemed to involve people with smaller incomes who had trouble meeting financial obligations, she said.They were usually owners of $40,000 to $70,000 homes who couldn't make ends meet.
  
  But as the Unifour's economy tanked -- area unemployment swelled from an average of 2.5 percent in 2000 to 8.6 percent late last year -- that changed.
  
  Bogle started seeing laid-off middle managers and longtime plant workers losing $100,000-$150,000 homes.In recent months, she received foreclosure papers on a $500,000 house on Lake Norman.
  
  "They weren't in over their heads when they built or bought," Bogle said.
