Amicus: The Work of Amicus

Amicus relies on the generosity of volunteers and donors to continue to support those facing the death penalty in the United States. We need help to: 

  • train UK lawyers and students to go and work in the US alongside attorneys (we send over twenty interns a year) 
  • research particular areas of law, and also draft amicus curiae briefs to be presented to US courts 
  • make applications to the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights in Washington about breaches of the American Declaration of Human Rights in death penalty trials 
  • provide trained trial observers to report on individual cases
