The Federal Capital Appellate Resource Counsel Project was created by the Defender Services Committee of the Judicial Conference in 2008. The Project’s mission is to help courts and federal defenders identify qualified counsel for federal death-penalty appeals, train and consult with assigned counsel, and provide direct representation in some cases. In addition, the Project helps FDPRC and CRC consult with trial lawyers in federal capital cases on legal issues. The Federal Capital Appellate Resource Counsel is Barry Fisher.  The Project's other attorneys are Sean Bolser and Jerome Del Pino.
