PROFESSIONAL NETWORK

The Attorneys Network

Defense counsel, former prosecutors, and academics working with the Foundation on procedural reform, amicus support, and case documentation.

The reforms we pursue are procedural, not partisan. That makes them portable across the profession — and it is why the Attorneys Network includes practitioners with very different day-to-day practices who agree on one thing: the federal criminal system should give both sides comparable tools to test the evidence.

Membership is informal. Attorneys who join receive our filings for comment before submission, invitations to closed roundtables, and periodic requests for input on discrete legal questions.

What This Means

Filings for comment

Advisory Committee suggestion letters, amicus drafts, and public education briefs circulate to the Network for professional review before we publish.

Closed roundtables

Small-format working sessions on the reform docket — Rule 15, Jencks, prosecutorial immunity — under Chatham House rules.

Amicus opportunities

When a live federal case implicates one of our reform priorities, we coordinate amicus participation on a case-by-case basis.

No client work

The Foundation does not represent individuals, refer cases, or take a position on the guilt or innocence of any defendant.
