After an innocence lawyer accepts to review your viable innocence claim:

Great! The 'Estimated Innocence Report' can aid the innocence lawyer to...

 

However, you are being pulled further into the same limited process that created miscarriages of justice in the first place. The more you succeed along their litigation path, the more they and others claim that the adversarial judicial system works--albeit painfully slowly for you. You remain trapped caving into their terms for respecting your needs. Their aim is to manage your pain. Our aim is to remove your pain by fully resolving needs: the resolution track.

After all innocence lawyers decline to review your viable innocence claim:

You can sulk in discouragement. Or shift from the standard 'litigation path' to our 'resolution path'. We send a copy of Impact Report A to your innocence lawyer(s):  Resolution Call. This is an invitation to identify, address & resolve each other's affected needs. This introduces the benefits of need-response: mutuality, effectiveness, better impacts.

Litigation path

Keep hope alive. Help the innocence lawyer quickly assess your case. Provide case documents...

Resolution path

Let's shift focus. Away from what impersonal laws expect to what specific needs require for us to fully function. While no one sits above the law, no law sits above the needs it exists to serve. And no authority under heaven is greater than resolved needs.
