DESCRIPTION:Join the Northern California Innocence Project (NCIP) for its ninth annual 
 Justice for All Awards Dinner on March 17, 2016, celebrating NCIP's 15th 
 Anniversary. The mission of NCIP is to promote a fair, effective and 
 compassionate criminal justice system and protect the rights of the 
 innocent. The Justice for All Awards Dinner is NCIP's largest fundraising 
 event of the year, which provides critical resources to help free innocent 
 prisoners and reform the criminal justice system. At the dinner we thank 
 key supporters and celebrate the accomplishments of the exonerees they have 
 helped to free. \n\n2016 honorees include:\nElizabeth Zitrin will accept 
 the Leadership Award. As president of the World Coalition against the Death 
 Penalty, she is a global leader on issues of criminal justice reform and 
 the death penalty. Since 2004, she has served on NCIP's advisory board, 
 providing exceptional leadership and helping shape the organization's 
 development over the years. \n\nExonoree Maurice Caldwell will accept the 
 Cookie Ridolfi Freedom Award. Maurice Caldwell was exonerated in 2011 after 
 spending 20 years wrongfully imprisoned. An activist for the innocence 
 movement, Caldwell regularly educates groups about the issue of wrongful 
 conviction. He has been instrumental in persuading California legislators 
 to pass several NCIP-sponsored bills to help protect innocent people from 
 wrongful conviction and make sure that those who have been wrongly 
 convicted receive compensation.\n\nJason Bussey and Patrick King, partners 
 at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, will accept the Pro Bono Award.  With 
 their leadership and a steadfast commitment to public service, the firm has 
 devoted thousands of pro bono hours to NCIP on multiple cases. Simpson 
 worked with NCIP to obtain the exoneration of Jimmie Dick and currently has 
 two teams of lawyers working on behalf of two other NCIP clients.\n\n$500 
 per ticket, sponsor packages available.\n
