At the Center for Impact Litigation we believe changing law and society begins with empowering the beneficiaries of change, transforming them from spectators in the legal process to active participants. For example, we actively encourage formerly incarcerated individuals to work with the Center in cases designed to address the profound flaws in the current carceral system. As another example, in the area of election law, we encourage campaigns and candidates to work with the Center in researching the law, drafting briefs and strategizing on the most effective ways to change and democratize an election system designed to benefit and protect privileged insiders at the expense of grass-roots campaigns.
