As the oldest and largest association of prosecutors in the United States, NDAA the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA) is dedicated to supporting the prosecution profession and advancing justice for all.
Prosecutors play a critical role in the criminal justice system by representing the people in criminal cases. They work to ensure that justice is served by holding accountable those who violate the law and protecting the rights and safety of victims and communities. The role of a prosecutor is complex and demanding, requiring expertise in law, investigation, advocacy, and public policy.
