National District Attorneys Association

The National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) was formed in 1950 in response to crime and the need for community protection. NDAA is dedicated to enhancing the professional knowledge and skills of prosecutors and improving prosecutorial and criminal justice practices. NDAA influences public policy by advocating prosecutorial views with those within the White House, U.S. Congress, the Department of Justice and other Federal agencies. NDAA is the voice of America’s prosecutors. It also sponsors conferences that highlight legal issues and specialized trainings in areas such as anti-terrorism, community prosecution, DNA technology, ethics, juvenile justice and capital litigation, along with trainings that focus on the prosecution of those involved in acts of violent crime, child abuse, violence against women, and elder abuse. NDAA has approximately 6,700 members who represent about 30,000 prosecutors. State and local prosecutors are responsible for handling 95% of all criminal cases in the U.S.
