BJA FY 22 National Training and Technical Assistance: Capital Case Litigation Initiative
OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement
and the community.
The purpose of the Capital Case Litigation Initiative (CCLI) is to assist states with:
(1) enhancing the ability of prosecutors to effectively represent the public in state capital cases, (2) supporting state prosecutors to develop and implement appropriate standards of practice and qualifications, (3) minimizing the potential for error in the trial of capital cases, and (4) improving the quality of legal representation provided to indigent defendants in state capital cases.
BJA achieves this purpose by forming partnerships with national training and technical assistance (TTA) providers to offer key support, expertise, and coaching to states, prosecutors, and defense counsel in capital cases.

The certification requirement also applies to law enforcement agencies receiving DOJ discretionary grant funding through a subaward.
