Phillips Black is a nonprofit, public interest law practice based in San Francisco, CA, dedicated to providing exceptional legal representation to incarcerated individuals in the United States who have been sentenced to the severest penalties under the law. Their team of independent practitioners collaborates seamlessly to share costs and resources, allowing them to undertake work that would otherwise not be possible. With a focus on indigent representation in complex cases, including post-conviction litigation challenging severe sentences, Phillips Black operates under a unique model inspired by the traditions of the English bar, fostering efficiency and professional development.
As a collective of independent barristers, Phillips Black's structure enables them to balance limited funding streams and distribute risk and responsibility among their practitioners. They also prioritize attracting and training new practitioners, employing attorneys and investigators at the beginning of their careers to introduce them to capital defense under the guidance and supervision of experienced principals. With offices in New York, Oakland, Philadelphia, and St. Louis, Phillips Black is committed to advancing the rule of law and conducting research on the administration of criminal justice.
