Who we are

APPEAL is a charity and law practice dedicated to challenging wrongful convictions and promoting a fairer justice system.

We provide expert holistic assistance for individuals, and their families, who have experienced a miscarriage of justice and who cannot afford to pay for an appeal lawyer.

We take wrongful convictions and unfair sentences to the Court of Appeal and the Criminal Cases Review Commission. We campaign on the wider issues our cases touch upon in order to achieve reform of the criminal justice system. We deploy our expert knowledge to identify particular issues of concern, conduct research and publish our findings.
