Abstract

This article is the introduction to a special issue of Justice System Journal focused on empirical research on indigent defense. The introduction summarizes the seven studies included in the issue, which examine indigent defense from the perspectives of clients, defense attorneys, judges, and legal systems. Together, the articles aim to improve understanding of how indigent defense works in practice and how it can better serve the people it is meant to protect.
