Until we address the systemic inequalities of the criminal justice system, irrelevant factors like poverty, race, gender, and geography will continue to define who receives our nation's most serious punishment.
A fair trial means having the assistance of a caring and competent defense team. A fair trial means having access to the resources necessary to investigate the case and the background of the accused. It is our belief that every capital defendant is entitled to a fair trial.
In service of that belief, our mission is:
- To fund fellowships for recent law school graduates to work with underfunded trial counsel in capital cases;
- To fund fellowships for professionals to become mitigation specialists;
- To provide pro bono opportunities for associates at law firms to work on capital trials;
- To provide internship opportunities for law and social work students to do a variety of trial-related death penalty work.
