The Alliance for Justice (AFJ) is a progressive judicial advocacy group in the United States.[4][5] Founded in 1979 by former president Nan Aron, AFJ monitors federal judicial appointments. AFJ represents a coalition of 100 politically liberal groups that have an interest in the federal judiciary.[6] The Alliance for Justice presents a modern liberal viewpoint on legal issues.[7]
According to the organization, "AFJ works to ensure that the federal judiciary advances core constitutional values, preserves human rights and unfettered access to the courts, and adheres to the even-handed administration of justice for all Americans."[8]
