post-conviction advocacy

Post-conviction advocacy involves legal efforts to review and challenge a criminal conviction after the trial has concluded. This can include filing appeals, seeking pardons, or pursuing other remedies when new evidence emerges or legal errors are identified that may affect the fairness of the original conviction. The goal is to ensure justice is upheld and to address issues such as wrongful convictions, procedural mistakes, or violations of rights, helping individuals obtain fair treatment under the law even after their initial case has been decided.
