Goal: For all states and territories to encourage qualified individuals to enter and continue employment as local and state prosecutors and local, state, and federal public defenders. Objective: To offer an incentive to allow jurisdictions to attract and retain qualified local, state, and federal public defenders and local and state prosecutors who commit to extended employment in those roles and continue in that capacity for a minimum of 36 months; to support beneficiaries with the least ability to repay their loans; and to ensure fair allocation of repayment benefits among prosecutors and public defenders, and among employing entities. Performance Measure 1: Number of state and local prosecutors funded; and, Performance Measure 2: Number of state and local public defenders funded. Performance Measure 3: Number of federal public defenders funded.

A total of 42 John R. Justice Student Loan Repayment Program awards were made to John R. Justice State Administering Agencies totaling $1,817,067.00 in the 2018 Fiscal Year (FY). A projection of FY 2019 is currently unavailable due to the solicitation still being open. The Bureau of Justice Statistics will calculate a minimum base allocation for each state, territory, and the District of Columbia. This minimum base allocation will then be supplemented by an amount proportional to that state’s or territory’s share of the national population. BJA reserves the right to reallocate unrequested funding in any fiscal year for use by participating states and to reduce future awards by amounts unexpended from the prior year, all based upon such reasonable formulas as is necessary to extend accessibility to program funding.
