Looking back to a year ago at this wonderful gathering of AJP staff, supporters, and friends which took place at Pinos Pizza Al Centro in Phoenix - a place frequented by our late founder, Larry Hammond. It takes a village and we have a great one.

A very successful day at the Arizona Board of Executive Clemency, representing an individual who was granted parole after 29 years of incarceration and after first obtaining a very rare commutation of sentence.

Thank you to AJP Senior Litigation Counsel, Erin Murphy, and AJP Larry Hammond Justice Fellow, Alex Preissing, for their dedication and representation. Thank you also to our client’s wonderful family and to all who attended to support our client. He truly made significant efforts toward rehabilitation while incarcerated and we are grateful he will have a much-deserved second chance.

On this day, 161 years ago in 1865, Union soldiers arrived to Galveston, Texas to deliver long over-due news that all enslaved Black people were free. This news came more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed on January 1, 1863. The 13th Amendment, formally abolishing slavery in this county, was officially ratified six months later.

Opal Lee, an American teacher, counselor and activist, is known as the “Grandmother of Juneteenth” - a day to commemorate freedom, resilience, and achievement. In 2021, Juneteenth officially became a federally recognized holiday thanks to the tireless advocacy and dedication of Opal Lee and many others.

We recognize this day to celebrate FREEDOM, to RECOGNIZE harm done in enslaving Black individuals in this country, and to continue our work to CORRECT INJUSTICES in the criminal legal system.

Please join us in welcoming Leah Rorie as AJP’s new Intake Coordinator and (very) soon-to-be Paralegal!

Leah will be one of the first points of contact for individuals seeking assistance from the Arizona Justice Project.

Before joining AJP, Leah worked for three years at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, where she provided litigation support for prosecutors handling complex criminal cases. Her experience included trial preparation, case management, legal document review, and coordinating with attorneys, witnesses, and law enforcement agencies. Prior to that, she worked in civil litigation for two and a half years, providing support to attorneys throughout litigation.

Leah earned her bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University in Criminal Justice Studies and is soon to have her Paralegal Studies degree from Phoenix College.

Her interest in innocence and post-conviction work stems from a passion for legal research, advocacy, and ensuring that every person has meaningful access to justice.

We are happy to have Leah aboard and welcome her to the AJP Team!

Yesterday, one of our clients was granted parole by the Arizona Board of Executive Clemency after the Board took into consideration his growth and rehabilitation over the course of 25 years in prison. Our client availed himself of all possible programs, stayed out of trouble, and maintained strong family and community support over the years. The community that came together to support our client was incredible and we are grateful he is getting this second chance.
