About Fair Notice
We exist because the gap between legal expectation and human capacity is preventable.
Fair Notice is a nonprofit organization that provides free legal literacy education to neurodivergent adults and free training to the courts and agencies that serve them.
What we do
We teach neurodivergent adults to recognize the moments that carry legal weight — and what to do in those moments. Not legal advice. Not representation. Three steps, practiced until they're automatic.
We train judges, prosecutors, defense counsel, court staff, and supervision officers to recognize capacity failure and distinguish it from intent. Free, customized to jurisdiction, and built on the same research base as the participant curriculum.
How we work
Evidence-based
Everything we teach is grounded in research on neurodivergence and legal outcomes. We measure what we do and publish the results.
Free, always
No cost, no sliding scale, no suggested donation. Programming is free to participants and legal-system professionals.
Neutral
We work with prosecution, defense, courts, and supervision agencies. We don't take sides in legal proceedings.
Participant-centered
Participants are never referred to as clients. They are not our clients — they are people we teach.
What we don't do
Fair Notice is not a legal services organization. We do not provide legal advice, legal representation, clinical diagnosis, or treatment. We do not advocate for or against any party in a legal proceeding.
- We do not provide legal advice or representation.
- We do not diagnose or treat any condition.
- We do not advocate for participants in their legal matters.
- We do not guarantee any legal outcome.
- We do not share participant information with courts, agencies, or attorneys without consent.
