Courtwatch PG is a growing community of volunteers from Prince George’s County, Maryland and the surrounding Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area — and beyond.

Courtwatch PG is powered by Life After Release, and founded and led by formerly incarcerated Black women. We courtwatchers represent all ages and backgrounds. We are joined by the call to anti-racist action and by faith in abolitionist futures.

This opportunity consists of attending and observing bond hearings, taking detailed notes, and flagging potential injustices. By serving as an independent community observer, you will help shine a light on practices that often go unseen.

What you will do: Attend scheduled hearings, record accurate observations, and report findings to the Accountability Committee for review. You will help identify patterns such as judicial misconduct, unlawful detention, or barriers to due process.

Skills you need: Attention to detail, strong note-taking skills, reliability, and an interest in justice reform. No legal background is required—training and guidance will be provided.

These letters challenge unlawful practices and call for fairer pretrial decisions.

What you will do: Participate in biweekly committee meetings, collaborate with peers to refine advocacy letters, and ensure concerns are communicated clearly to decision-makers. Your writing will have a direct impact on advancing accountability in Maryland’s courts.

Skills you need: Strong writing and editing skills, critical thinking, and the ability to articulate legal or procedural concerns. Students passionate about law, advocacy, or social justice will find this role especially meaningful.

Data Analysis Student Intern: As a Data Analysis Student Intern for our yearly report, you will help transform courtroom observations into meaningful advocacy by collecting and analyzing data. This role consists of entering hearing notes, tracking the number and types of advocacy letters sent, and identifying systemic trends. Your work will help inform reports, community updates, and policy recommendations.

What you will do: Organize and create graphics from data trends, analyze recurring issues in bond hearings, and contribute to reports that highlight systemic injustices. You will help translate individual cases into broader evidence-based calls for reform.

Skills you need: Strong organizational and data entry skills, familiarity with spreadsheets or databases, and the ability to recognize patterns in both numbers and narratives. An interest in research, policy, or data-driven advocacy is a plus.
