National Association of Federal Defenders

The National Association of Federal Defenders (NAFD) is an organization that represents attorneys who provide legal defense in federal criminal cases. These defenders are appointed to represent individuals who cannot afford to hire a private lawyer. The NAFD aims to support these public defenders through training, advocacy, and resource sharing, ensuring they can effectively protect the rights of their clients. They also promote fair treatment in the federal justice system and work to enhance the quality of defense services across the country.
