Challenging Your Parole Denial – A Valuable Resource

In case you missed our big announcement, UnCommon Law has released a new, FREE handbook: Challenging Your Parole Denial in California State Court.

Here’s the challenge we’re tackling: thousands of people are denied parole in California every year, and most have no lawyer to help them challenge that decision. As a result, most parole denials go unchallenged due to a lack of resources. That’s where this handbook comes in. We created it to remove some of the obstacles that prevent people from fighting unlawful denials and to equip them with the tools to defend their rights in court.

 What’s inside the handbook:

  • Step-by-step guidance on how to challenge a parole denial in California state court.
  • Fill-in-the-blank templates to help people write their own habeas petitions.
  • An overview of the court process so people know what to expect at each stage.

We hope this resource becomes a valuable tool for your loved one. If you know someone who could use it, reach out to us online or at (510) 271-0310. We’ll make sure a copy makes its way directly into the hands of someone inside.

Thank you for your continued support,
– The UnCommon Law Team

This handbook was a multi-year project supported by the Equal Justice Works Public Interest Fellowship awarded to staff attorney Darby Aono-Shek in 2022. To support UnCommon Law as we begin to share these inside, you can donate here.
