The Incarcerated Gender Violence Survivors Initiative trains and mentors pro bono attorneys to provide direct representation to incarcerated survivors of gender-based violence. IGVSI pro bono attorneys assist survivors with complex legal matters, including:

​

• Sentencing or resentencing under New York’s Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act (DVSJA)

• Criminal defense representation and appeals

• Parole preparation

• Clemency

 

IGVSI pro bono cases are ideal for litigation and transactional attorneys.
