NACDL - Trial Penalty in Connecticut: Are People Being Punished for Exercising Their Constitutional Rights?
The Connecticut Office of Chief Public Defender embarked on an effort to study the trial penalty in its own state. It devised and distributed an innovative survey, seeking objective data from criminal defense practitioners within the state. OCPD partnered with NACDL and the Connecticut Criminal Defense Lawyers Association to continue this study and produce this report. It also engaged the Institute for Municipal and Regional Policy at the University of Connecticut to provide statistical analysis of the survey results and to draw conclusions driven by that data.

NACDL - Justice for None: How Marsy's Law Undermines the Criminal Legal System
Marsy’s Law is the colloquial name for a model Victims’ Bill of Rights that enshrines victims’ rights within state constitutions. Victims’ rights were already codified and protected in most states. However, Marsy’s Law enshrines its flawed one-size-fits-all model within the state constitutions, creating unintended consequences for the criminal legal system. [Released August 2024];
