Basic and advanced training on death penalty issues and advocacy for attorneys who litigate capital cases on behalf of indigent defendants (defense attorneys) and the state (prosecutors).

The purpose of the Capital Case Litigation Initiative (CCLI) is to provide high-quality training and technical assistance on death penalty issues to prosecutors and defense counsel who litigate death penalty cases. This program focuses on ensuring quality representation in death penalty cases and trials. The goals of CCLI are to increase the number of capital litigation attorneys trained in death penalty cases, and to ensure that defense counsel and prosecutors have the most up-to-date and comprehensive information available to them on death penalty litigation. The grant recipient will use the funds to achieve the goals of the CCLI program.
