ABOUT CPDO: The Census of Public Defender Offices (CPDO) is the second iteration of a project by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to collect information metrics from all public defender offices operating in the United States. Last administered in 2007, the CPDO enhances understanding about public defender operations. Additionally, the CPDO supplements the BJS portfolio of data collections on various aspects of indigent defense. Read more about the CPDO by downloading our informational flyer, or by visiting the CPDO Project Page and the CPDO survey FAQ page on the NORC website.
