Testimonials
At trial, opposing counsel told us and the judge twice that our evidence submission was one of the best he's ever seen in over twenty years, and this is in great part due to the amazing work that MJA's doctors did! This case couldn't have been won without this organization, so thank you so much for all that you've done for us (especially on such an incredibly short timeline!)

With healthcare increasingly corporatized and bureaucratic, it can be easy to become frustrated and lose sight of why I became a physician sometimes. Volunteering with the Medical Justice Alliance has been a powerful antidote to that. Using my medical training to help people in the criminal legal system get the healthcare they need has been incredibly rewarding.

MJA is a vital resource for those who work with and advocate for incarcerated people. Often, pro bono litigators do not have access to medical professionals that can provide quality assessments that can mean freedom for someone, or relief from intolerable prison conditions. MJA fills a huge resource gap, and evens the playing-field to assist our clients in their fight to obtain justice.

MJA’s work is -literally- saving lives. Without a physician’s input, it can be extremely difficult for defense attorneys to convince the powers that be of the precarious health situations that many of our incarcerated clients face. MJA — and their network of admirable and committed doctors — is making sure that low-income folks can have access to critical medical input as part of their claim for adequate healthcare
