Mission Statement
The Choosing Justice Initiative (CJI) is a non-profit law firm working to end wealth-based disparities in Nashville’s criminal legal system through education, advocacy and direct legal representation. We deliver high quality, holistic legal representation at no cost to indigent adults and children facing criminal charges in Nashville, and advocate for laws, policies, and practices that promote greater equity, health, and justice for everyone. We are not about giving charity – we are about pursuing justice in solidarity with economically marginalized people and communities.
