Overview
Mission
The acdl-nj was formed to respond to the continuing problems confronting criminal defense lawyers when they honestly, ethically, but zealously represent their clients; to protect and insure compliance with those individual rights guaranteed by the New Jersey and united states constitutions; and to encourage cooperation among criminal defense lawyers engaged in the furtherance of those objectives.
What it reported doing in 2024
The overarching mission of the acdl-nj, which it carries out through its lawyers' assistance program, amicus representation, monitoring of legislation, presentation of events and cle programs, and numerous other activities, is to secure the constitutional rights guaranteed to all, and to defend these rights against government infringement or encroachment.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 89% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
