About Project Expedite Justice

Project Expedite Justice (PEJ), founded in 2016, is a United States-based NGO with a 501(c)(3) charitable organization designation.

PEJ’s mission is to use all available legal options to seek justice for individuals inadequately protected under the law, who cannot access legal resources, and who are exploited by governments, corporations, or others.

PEJ applies a novel, victim-centered approach to addressing mass atrocities. PEJ’s 3-step model includes training, mentoring, and providing independent legal consulting. We partner with and train local lawyers and investigators to collect, analyze, and preserve evidence in accordance with international legal standards. Without evidence, there can be no accountability. We further build local capabilities and advance the justice process through case-specific mentoring and strategic guidance to local legal practitioners and investigators. Finally, we partner with local NGOs, pro bono law firms, and legal clinics to represent victims of international crimes and serious human rights abuses in court or alternative judicial mechanisms.

PEJ has projects in several countries. Our inclusive team includes people working remotely from Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, and the US. We are deeply committed to increasing opportunities for lawyers and other human rights defenders from the global majority or the Global South to participate in international rule-of-law-based nonprofit work.

The Opportunity: Graphic and Visualization Officer

The Graphic and Visualization Officer, reporting directly to the Project Lead and the Information Management Officer, is responsible for producing high-quality visual materials that support Justice Bootcamps, mentorship activities, donor reporting, and the Digital Justice Hub. The role translates complex legal, investigative, analytical, and educational content into clear, accessible, and visually compelling graphics that enhance understanding, usability, and engagement among justice sector practitioners and stakeholders.

The Graphic and Visualization Officer works closely with legal experts, investigators, analysts, instructional designers, and the Digital Platform Designer to ensure that all visual outputs are consistent, accurate, and aligned with PEJ’s communication standards and educational objectives. The role supports both print and digital formats, contributing to learning materials, presentations, reports, and platform assets that improve clarity and knowledge transfer.

About the Project

The Justice Bootcamps project is a national program designed to strengthen police, prosecutors, Ukraine Security Services (SSU), and judges (hereinafter, «justice actors») practices across four frontline oblasts, where more war crimes reports have been recorded. This initiative delivers targeted workshops, providing technical assistance and operational support directly to justice actors handling war crimes and crimes against humanity cases. PEJ’s approach leads to immediate, targeted skill-building that increases capacity and equips frontline justice actors to prosecute Russian international crimes.

The project is structured around two mutually reinforcing goals: (1) strengthening frontline police, prosecutorial, and judicial capacity through intensive, practical Bootcamps and ongoing expert support; and (2) institutionalizing knowledge and skills within Ukrainian justice institutions to promote long-term sustainability, professional development, and interagency cooperation. Recognizing that needs vary across oblasts, the project tailors its activities to address priority challenges in each participating region. Through a practical «learn-by-doing» methodology, Justice Bootcamps supports justice actors to strengthen their ability to investigate, prosecute, and adjudicate war crimes and crimes against humanity, helping ensure meaningful access to justice for survivors in Ukraine.
