Who we are

Our Mission:

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

Our Aims & Objectives:

We holistically support individuals and their families who have experienced a miscarriage of justice and who cannot afford to pay for an appeal lawyer.

We bring unsafe 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, informing the media, parliament, criminal justice policy makers and the public, 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.

Our Vision:

A justice system in which people in England and Wales are at less risk of wrongful conviction ot unfair sentencing and all such wrongs are righted as a matter of urgency.
