Brief Bank

The Project to End Juvenile Life Without Parole challenges and works to change JLWOP sentences by filing briefs at both the state and federal level.

This section provides direct links to briefs authored by the Project to End Juvenile Life Without Parole and the University of San Francisco School of Law. In addition, the project maintains a brief bank with the National Juvenile Defender Center, compiling briefs from across the country.
