Appeal

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

We:
  • Holistically support individuals and their families who have experienced a miscarriage of justice and who cannot afford to pay for an appeal lawyer.
  • Bring unsafe convictions and unfair sentences to the Court of Appeal and the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
  • 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.
  • 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 or unfair sentencing and all such wrongs are righted as a matter of urgency.
