OUR PROGRAMs

The Fair Trial Initiative directly confronts the crisis of incompetent trial counsel for indigent defendants facing the death penalty. The Initiative's 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.
