Justice Programs Office

JPO Senior Fellows

The JPO is staffed by a small core group of full-time research faculty and staff associates, and is supported by a larger group of JPO Senior Fellows – formally recognized senior practitioners in a variety of justice system specialties – who work with JPO faculty and staff on projects in direct support of state and local government agencies and foreign governments. This cadre of faculty, staff and Senior Fellows is supplemented, as necessary, by outside consultants and by AU academic faculty in the disciplines of law, economics, computer science, public administration, and other specialties.
