The Office of State Public Defender (OSPD) in Jackson, MS was established in 2011 to consolidate capital defense, appeals, and training services under one umbrella. In 2016, the OSPD expanded its responsibilities to include parent defense in youth court protection matters, striving to develop proposals for a statewide public defense system. With a dedicated leadership team including the State Defender, Appeals Director, Training Director, and Capital Defense Director, the OSPD continues to evolve and adapt as it enters its second decade of service. The organization's commitment to indigent defense reform is evident through its various reports, strategic plans, and ongoing efforts to ensure the right to counsel in Mississippi.
