Visit Our Website

The Office of the Juvenile Defender (OJD) was created from a study in October 2003 exploring the quality of juvenile representation in North Carolina. As a result of this study, the IDS Juvenile Committee recommended the creation of the Juvenile Defender role and the office officially opened January 2005.

OJD’s mission is to provide services and support to juvenile defense attorneys, evaluate the current system of representation through observation of court, speaking with court officials and make recommendations as needed, while also elevating the stature of juvenile delinquency representation and working with juvenile justice advocates to promote positive change in the juvenile justice system.
