Indigence is frequently associated with injustice and the quality of justice suffers as a result. To prevent denial of access to justice, members from the Arizona Attorneys for Criminal Justice founded the Arizona Justice Project in 1998.

Its mission is to represent indigent Arizona inmates whose claims of innocence or manifest injustice have gone unheeded. Every time an accused goes to prison without having received a fair trial, we are one step closer to the loss of our own freedoms. In fact, there is no greater punishment than that imposed on the innocent.

Victims’ rights violations can occur by any of the actors in the criminal justice system—the prosecutor, the court, the defendant—and at any time in the criminal justice process, even before the case is scheduled for its first hearing.  The only way to be certain that a victim’s rights are properly asserted and enforced is if the victim has legal representation of his or her own. 

Legal Services for Crime Victims in Arizona (LSCVA) is here to help and has designed its programs to form comprehensive, holistic services to advance victim healing, autonomy and stabilization in the aftermath of crime.
