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. |
