ASSISTANT PUBLIC DEFENDER (Local)
Assistant public defenders represent people charged with indictable offences who cannot afford counsel. They are State employees, admitted to the New Jersey bar, working out of regional offices under the Office of the Public Defender.
The Public Defender appoints them directly. Vacancies are posted by that office rather than through a Commission examination, which is why no specification appears here.

Where this title is used
Assistant Public Defender is a local service title. It is filled by the counties, municipalities, authorities and other employers that have adopted civil service under Title 11A, not by State departments. Those employers set pay by ordinance or contract rather than from a State salary schedule, which is why most local titles carry no salary range here.
