Mission Statement
The Arizona Justice Project was established in 1998 and became the fifth organization in the United States created to help inmates overturn wrongful convictions.
About This Cause
Indigence is frequently associated with injustice and the quality of justice suffers as a result. To prevent denial of access to justice, members from the Arizona Attorneys for Criminal Justice founded the Justice Project in 1998. Its mission is to represent indigent Arizona inmates whose claims of innocence or manifest injustice have gone unheeded. Every time an accused goes to prison without having received a fair trial, we are one-step closer to the loss of our own freedoms. In fact, there is no greater punishment than that imposed on the innocent. The Justice Project reviews and assists in cases of actual innocence or cases in which a manifest injustice has occurred. To date, the Justice Project has received over 5,000 requests for help, and currently has anywhere between 40 to 50 cases in post-conviction relief proceedings or under the supervision of a review team. Oftentimes, the Justice Project is a last resort for men and women who have been failed by our justice system. Their voices would go unheard and sadly, many innocent people would remain wrongfully behind bars without the hard work of our Justice Project staff and volunteers.
