Defending Justice, Delivering Freedom
The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL) is the preeminent organization advancing the mission of the criminal defense bar to ensure justice and due process for people accused of crime or wrongdoing. With over 10,000 direct members in 28 countries — and 90 state, provincial and local affiliate organizations totaling 40,000 attorneys —NACDL worked to achieve its mission by conducting trainings, advocating to state and federal legislators, filing compassionate release motions for incarcerated individuals and training pro bono partners to do the same, litigating Fourth and Sixth Amendment issues, and so much more.
The mission of the NACDL Foundation for Criminal Justice (NFCJ), a 501(c)(3) public charity, is to preserve and promote the core values of America’s justice system guaranteed by the Constitution — among them due process, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, fair sentencing and effective assistance of counsel — by educating the public and the legal profession to the role of these rights and values in a free society. The NFCJ supports many of NACDL’s efforts to achieve its mission. This report provides a brief overview of some of the activities supported by contributions and grants made to the NFCJ as well as federal grants made directly to NACDL. For more information, please visit NACDL.org or NFCJ.org/About. In 2024, NACDL stood at the forefront of the fight for a fair, effective, and compassionate criminal legal system. Through bold advocacy, legal leadership, and transformative programs, we empowered thousands and brought lasting change to communities nationwide.
