Law PracticeUnited States11-50 Employees
The National Association for Public Defense is a practitioner-led organization in the United States that supports the public defense workforce, including lawyers, paralegals, investigators, and other essential staff. It operates without full-time staff, placing its members at the center of its work as the primary source of knowledge and leadership. Its mission centers on addressing systemic failures to provide the constitutional right to counsel and fostering collaboration with diverse partners to expand access to justice for people who cannot afford representation, across state, county, and local systems, including juvenile, capital, and appellate contexts. As a professional association, NAPD draws on the broad range of roles within public defense to advocate for reform and to support practitioners nationwide. A recent development involves a collaboration with Publicis Sapient to raise awareness of the work and challenges faced by public defenders.
