Representing prisoners, seeking justice

A not-for-profit solution to the shortage of investigation and legal representation on appeal

Support this project
The Centre for Criminal Appeals is a new “access to justice” initiative, currently in its start-up phase. 

Once operational, the Centre's mission will be to:

1. Work to overturn unsafe convictions by providing investigation and legal advocacy on criminal appeal cases in England and Wales, on a non profit basis

2. Work in partnership with former prisoners to share the lessons learned from this casework with criminal justice policy makers, the legal profession and the public, in order to improve the accuracy of the criminal justice system

3. Pilot a replicable model for non-profit criminal legal service provision

The Centre is seeking 
funding to enable it to be 
operational in 
early 2014
