The Association of Prosecuting Attorneys (APA) convenes a range of specialized councils composed of District Attorneys, research and legal scholars, subject matter experts, and justice system professionals from across the country. These councils serve as collaborative platforms where members share insights, develop model practices, and explore innovative approaches to prosecution.
Each council is tailored to address specific areas of prosecutorial practice—such as domestic violence, animal abuse, and data-driven prosecution—and is informed by the decades of experience of working prosecutors and allied professionals. Through regular meetings, peer-to-peer exchanges, and expert-led discussions, APA’s councils help shape national strategies that enhance prosecutorial effectiveness and promote community safety.
By fostering dialogue across jurisdictions and disciplines, APA ensures that prosecutors are equipped with the tools, perspectives, and support needed to navigate complex legal challenges and uphold justice with integrity.
