Fair Trial Initiative seeks to address the systemic inequalities of the criminal justice system through the provision 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.<\/p>\n

In service of that belief, The Fair Trial Initiative:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Provides two-year fellowships for new lawyers to work on death penalty trials;<\/li>\n
  2. Provides summer and semester internships to law students, social work students, and undergraduates interested in death penalty defense;<\/li>\n
  3. Recruits private lawyers to lend their assistance to capital trials on a pro bono<\/em> basis;<\/li>\n
  4. Educates the public on the administration of the death penalty.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Fair Trial Initiative (FTI) mission is to ensure fairness for indigent defendants facing the death penalty. FTI furthers this purpose by: (1) recruiting and training lawyers and other professionals to assist with representation in individual cases; (2) promoting a multi-disciplinary approach and teamwork in capital defense; and (3) continually introducing innovative approaches to the defense of death penalty cases. FTI also promotes reform through public education and advocacy.<\/p>\n
