Mission

Life After Justice (LAJ) fights to free the wrongfully convicted and provides support in reclaiming their lives after justice. Life After Justice was created by exonerees. The approach of the majority exoneree-led Board of Directors is rooted in the knowledge, expertise, and understanding from the lived experience of its leadership. LAJ's three-pronged approach is designed to free innocent individuals and contribute to systemic changes by: *strategically litigating cases to change policies and laws; *providing a network of holistic mental health, well-being, and technology services to support exonerees in rebuilding their lives; and *advocating on behalf of exonerees and their families within state and federal governments to establish an ecosystem of support and empowerment beyond monetary awards.
