California appellate projects

The California appellate projects are 501(c)(3)[1] non-profit legal corporations under a contract with the California Court of Appeal[2] to provide legal services to indigent parties on appeal from criminal, delinquency, dependency and mental health judgments in their respective district. There are five appellate project corporations, of which the California Appellate Project operates a separate project, the California Appellate Project in San Francisco, to assist in death penalty cases.
