These include the Racial Justice Act, SB 1437, AB 333, AB 600 and others. The cross-team collaboration allows CAP to maintain consistency in approach, share resources and insights, and ensure thoughtful, legally sound application of new statutory rights. Our new staff members can anticipate being involved in these efforts at all levels and stages of litigation.
