UnCommon Law is a law practice based in Oakland, California, focusing on reforming how long-term prison sentences for violent crime are handled. For over 15 years, the organization has developed a trauma-informed model of advocacy aimed at providing healing, accountability, and effective legal representation to people serving life or lengthy sentences. Its work centers on creating safe pathways home from prison and enabling those impacted by the system to develop new self-narratives that can influence violence reductions both inside and outside facilities.
