The Maryland Office of the Public Defender (OPD) seeks zealous and dedicated litigators to represent young people in both delinquency and criminal matters in our Prince George’s County Office. We are committed to building a culturally diverse staff and strongly encourage people historically underrepresented in the practice of law to apply.
Our vision is for Justice, Fairness, and Dignity for All and we are committed to our core values of a culture of excellence, client-centered representation, tenacious advocacy, and remain united as a team in achieving our mission. At OPD we use our legal education and experience to fight for justice and fairness, no matter what and we refuse to remain silent in the midst of human suffering. Our unique talents, identities, educational backgrounds, and perspectives guide us in representing our clients. We stand up against prejudice, systemic racism, and inequity in all of the spaces we occupy. OPD seeks candidates that will join us in providing compassionate, competent, zealous, and client-centered representation to all of our clients.
