Centre for Criminal Appeals

APPEAL is a charity and law practice dedicated to challenging wrongful convictions and promoting a fairer justice system. We support individuals and their families who have experienced a miscarriage of justice and who cannot afford to pay for an appeal lawyer. We bring unsafe convictions and unfair sentences to the Court of Appeal and the Criminal Cases Review Commission. We campaign on the wider issues our cases touch upon in order to achieve reform of the criminal justice system. We deploy our expert knowledge to identify particular issues of concern, conduct research and publish our findings. Bound By Injustice is a group of wrongful conviction survivors APPEAL's Survivor Advocates have bought together for peer support, eliminating the feelings of isolation, judgement and stigma and to have the opportunity to feel heard by sharing their experiences.
