The Roderick & Solange MacArthur Justice Center is a national, non-profit law firm dedicated to protecting civil rights and fighting unfairness in the criminal legal system through litigation at the trial, appellate, and Supreme Court levels.

Individual and class action clients were represented in over 230 cases.
