Thank You to CAIL's Criminal Law & Actual Innocence Faculty and Donors!

During this past year of great uncertainty with the COVID-19 pandemic, we’ve been comforted by and encouraged to remember the connections that help advance our organization’s mission endeavors.

CAIL presents Criminal Law and Actual Innocence seminars with grant funding from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.  These seminars have two primary goals – to improve the trial skills of defense lawyers and prosecutors; and to help safeguard the justice system against wrongful convictions.  

As a nonprofit institution, the grants we receive from the Court of Criminal Appeals combined with the participation of our distinguished faculty continue to help support an important part of CAIL’s mission -- improving the quality of justice through the education of lawyers and law enforcement officials in the U.S. and throughout the world. 

In the past two grant years (Grant FY 2019 & Grant FY 2020), our faculty speakers presented their expertise and knowledge to help educate over 2400* grant constituents. CAIL, as a tax-exempt 501(C)(3) non-profit organization, additionally received donations, including several from faculty and registrants. 

We thank you for giving to CAIL!
