This grant, offered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), establishes the John R. Justice (JRJ) Program to bolster the recruitment and retention of public defenders and prosecutors. State agencies, designated by governors, will receive funding to administer statewide JRJ programs. These programs will solicit applications from eligible local, state, and federal public defenders, as well as local and state prosecutors. Selected beneficiaries must commit to an additional three years of qualifying service. In exchange for this commitment, they will receive partial loan repayment directly to their loan service providers. The initiative supports the Department of Justice’s commitment to advancing access to justice and strengthening community safety.
