The California appellate projects are non-profit law offices under a contract with the State of California to provide legal services to indigent parties on appeal from criminal, delinquency, dependency and mental health judgments in their respective district. There are six appellate projects: one each for each of the districts of the California Court of Appeal, with the exception of the Third and Fifth districts which share a single project, and one for capital inmates.

The appellate projects are as follows:[1]

  • The First District Appellate Project, covering the First District.
  • The California Appellate Project, covering the Second District.
  • The Central California Appellate Program, covering the Third and Fifth Districts.
  • The Appellate Defenders Inc., covering the Fourth District.
  • The Sixth District Appellate Program, covering the Sixth District.
  • The California Appellate Project - San Francisco, covering the Supreme Court for capital criminal matters only.
