Arizona Justice Project

"To seek justice for the innocent, the wrongfully imprisoned, and those who have suffered manifest injustice under Arizona's criminal justice system."

The Arizona Justice Project ("AJP") was founded in 1998 and is dedicated to seeking justice for the innocent and correcting cases of manifest injustice in the Arizona criminal justice system. With a mission to seek justice for the marginalized and forgotten, the AJP provides pro bono legal representation to indigent individuals who have been wrongfully convicted in Arizona. The AJP is the only organization dedicated to exonerating the wrongfully convicted in Arizona. It is hard to imagine being convicted of a crime you did not commit, but it happens and unfortunately it happens more frequently than many people believed was possible in the American justice system. In Arizona, the vast number of people in prison seeking help to prove their innocence do not have a right to an attorney nor can they afford one. These are the marginalized and forgotten individuals that the AJP seeks to help.
