We approach every case with trial in mind, aggressively litigating from day one to uncover truth and achieve justice for our clients and their causes.
At the Trial Impact Project, we believe trials and the litigation process are the cornerstone of our justice system and essential to a healthy, multicultural democracy.
Trials can advance the law and build legal momentum for change
Trials can spotlight injustice and expose truths to the public
Trials ensure that the needs of impacted people are included in shaping powerful systems and institutions
Pleading claims, developing discovery, and building a trial record can rally organizers and movements around a shared understanding of their experience
Through hands-on experience and intensive training, the Trial Impact Project cultivates early-career litigators with the creativity and grit to take social, racial, and economic justice cases from inception to trial.
As litigation specialists, we treat every stage of a case as an opportunity to understand the truth, develop the facts, and shape the narrative for public accountability.
