California Appellate Project (San Francisco) is a non-profit organization established in 1983 by the State Bar of California to secure the constitutional right to counsel for indigent defendants facing execution. Based in San Francisco, CAP-SF operates as a legal resource center for capital appellate work, serving the largest population of condemned individuals in the United States. Its ongoing operations are funded primarily through a contract with the Judicial Council of California.

CAP-SF assists private counsel appointed by the California Supreme Court to represent indigent defendants in capital cases on direct appeal, and provides them with professional training and litigation resources. It also assists unrepresented death row inmates by collecting and preserving evidence for post-conviction claims and by providing advocacy during incarceration before counsel is appointed, and it can offer policy consultations on indigent defense in capital cases at the judiciary's request.
