What is a Justice Collaborative?

A Justice Collaborative is typically an organization or initiative that brings together legal professionals, advocates, and community members to work on issues related to criminal justice reform, civil rights, and social equity. These collaboratives aim to address systemic injustices by providing research, policy recommendations, and advocacy. Members may work on projects such as bail reform, ending mass incarceration, and supporting marginalized communities. Justice Collaboratives often function as think tanks, advocacy groups, or partnerships with public defenders and grassroots organizations. Their overarching goal is to create fairer and more equitable legal systems.
