They are committed to excellence in capital defense, focusing on client-centered representation and innovative advocacy strategies, while also addressing systemic issues such as racism in the criminal justice system and lack of funding for adequate representation.

They offer trial-level representation, as well as appellate, post-conviction, and habeas proceedings, and provide trainings and consult services to capital defenders statewide.
