Defender Association

A Defender Association is a legal organization that provides trained defense attorneys to individuals who cannot afford private lawyers. Its main role is to ensure every person accused of a crime has qualified legal representation, safeguarding their rights and ensuring a fair criminal justice process. The association typically consists of public defenders who work within the justice system to represent clients efficiently and ethically. Their services are funded primarily by government resources, and they play a vital role in maintaining fairness and equitable access to legal defense for all.
