"CJLF is a nonprofit public interest law
organization dedicated to restoring
a balance between the rights of crime victims and of the criminally
accused.
CJLF's purpose is to assure that people who are guilty of
committing crimes
receive swift and certain punishment in an orderly and thoroughly
constitutional
manner.
"To accomplish this, CJLF attorneys introduce
persuasive legal arguments in
criminal cases before state and federal appellate courts to
encourage
precedent-setting decisions which recognize the constitutional
rights of victims
and
law-abiding society.
"CJLF believes crime and violence sabotaging
American life today is the
result of a deterioration in basic values which bind people
together in a
civilized
society. Our institutions, and particularly the criminal justice
system, have
evolved from a force encouraging responsible behavior to one
which routinely
excuses the most flagrant violations of the law.
"While there are multi-million dollar organizations
operating nationally to
protect the civil liberties of the criminally accused, CJLF
is the only public
interest law foundation in this nation working full time to
restore law
enforcement's ability to assure that crime does not pay."
In our view, a swift and decisive system of justice has proven
to be the most
powerful deterrent to criminal behavior. CJLF has demonstrated
its ability
to remove obstacles to the use of this deterrent while assuring
that the
constitutional rights of the accused are not forgotten.
CJLF has not been evaluated by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance.
