The unit's commitment to treating clients with dignity and respect sets it apart, fostering an environment where compassion and justice go hand in hand.

Located in Pennsylvania, the CHU operates not only within the state but also extends its reach to jurisdictions outside Pennsylvania when appointed by a court. This broad scope of work allows staff members to engage with a diverse range of cases and legal challenges, providing them with invaluable experience and professional growth opportunities.

The CHU's dedicated personnel regularly litigate in federal district court, courts of appeals, and even the United States Supreme Court.

Staff members play an active role in providing training and consultation to members of the private bar who handle capital post-conviction cases. This collaborative approach not only strengthens the legal profession but also allows CHU staff to make a broader impact by empowering other attorneys to fight for justice.

Beyond the professional opportunities, the CHU community is a tight-knit and supportive one. Staff members at the CHU share a common passion for justice and a deep commitment to their clients.
