Criminal
Justice Project
| Our
Criminal Justice Project involves a study of the Cook County
Criminal Justice System with an emphasis on felony cases at
the central criminal courts at 26th and California. The first
of its kind since 1929, our comprehensive examination will explore
problems and propose meaningful solutions relating to lawyering
and judicial performance in the felony trial courtrooms. Our
goal is to assist the various components of the criminal justice
system to work more fairly, efficiently, and effectively with
adequate levels of funding. The project is being
conducted by the Chicago Council of Lawyers and Chicago
Appleseed Fund For Justice, with Chicago Appleseed taking the
lead on the research portion of the project. |
