California Appellate Project

The California Appellate Project (CAP) is a legal organization that provides assistance to individuals who are appealing criminal convictions in California. Established to ensure that those who cannot afford a lawyer receive competent legal representation, CAP focuses on cases where serious legal issues may have arisen during a trial. Their attorneys review trial records, analyze potential appeals, and represent clients in appellate courts, helping to ensure justice is served and that defendants’ rights are upheld throughout the appeal process. CAP plays a crucial role in the state's criminal justice system by promoting fair legal representation.
