The Office of the Appellate Defender – Social Work/ Reentry Program operates as a not-for-profit legal services organization focused on appellate and post-conviction representation for indigent individuals. Based in New York City, it has long served as a key provider of appellate defense, and is noted as one of the city’s oldest institutions dedicated to indigent defense beyond The Legal Aid Society. In addition to representation, the program emphasizes training new and relatively inexperienced lawyers in client-centered appellate advocacy, contributing to capacity-building within the criminal justice system. The organization serves indigent defendants convicted of felonies, addressing gaps in the appeals process and supporting reentry-related needs through its social work and reentry initiatives.
