OUR WORK

Initiatives

JRF is focused on both immediate and longer term initiatives that capture our guiding promise of Restoring Lives. Renewing Justice. Rebuilding Trust.

Active Initiatives

RULE 15

Expand pretrial depositions in federal criminal cases. Our priority campaign with an active filing window.

PROFESSIONS

Documenting the pattern of federal prosecutions of licensed physicians and the discovery gaps that shape them.

RIGHTS RESTORATION

Restoring Second Amendment rights for people with non-violent federal convictions who have completed their sentences.

POLICY

Reforming the Hyde Amendment so vindicated defendants can actually recover from unjust federal prosecution.
