Collateral Consequences of Conviction Justice Project

DonateFor Students

The mission of LMU Loyola Law School’s Collateral Consequences of Conviction Justice Project (CCCJP) is to provide free legal representation to individuals with past criminal justice involvement to assist them in navigating and overcoming many of the collateral consequences of conviction, with the goal of facilitating successful reintegration into society. The dire consequences of a felony conviction last far longer than the years spent in prison and time spent under post-release supervision, and they are frequently unrelated to either public safety or the offense committed.  Returning community members are often denied licenses for many jobs, lose their right to vote, are separated from their families, denied driver’s licenses and government benefits, and denied housing.  Such collateral consequences also perpetuate the stark racial disparities of the criminal justice system.  The CCCJP’s core competencies include legal services to help the formerly incarcerated secure employment, self-sufficiency and stability.
