  Welcome to the 2017 JusticeMakers Fellowship training module. This curriculum is designed to help you implement your JusticeMakers Fellowship project over the course of the next year.

  Celebrating the Heroes of Criminal Justice

  JusticeMakers is an online community that shares intellectual capital and best practices in the field of criminal justice. A project of International Bridges to Justice, JusticeMakers seeks to unleash the collective energies of criminal defenders from around the world and realize the vast potential of international human rights legislation. The online effort will be supported by a partnership structure that brings the website’s tools and wealth of knowledge to those living beyond the digital divide.

  This curriculum is continuously modified to bring the best possible lessons to the JusticeMakers Fellows.
