Our Mission

The Spangenberg Project (TSP), housed in the Administration of Justice department's Center for Justice, Law and Society (CJLS), conducts research on the right to counsel and indigent defense delivery systems and provides technical assistance to indigent defense systems across the nation. TSP was created in February 2009 when researchers from The Spangenberg Group joined CJLS. In our first year of operation, TSP has continued the decades-long tradition of The Spangenberg Group by conducting cutting-edge research and program evaluation in the area of indigent defense.
