The Chicago Appleseed Center for Fair Courts is a mid-sized nonprofit focused on public policy related to the justice system. Based in Chicago, Illinois, it advocates for a legal framework that is fair, accessible, and efficient, with the aim of reducing delays in justice while addressing broader social injustices. The organization seeks to interrupt cycles of poverty, mass incarceration, and racial injustice as they relate to court processes.

Its work centers on people who interact with the courts and communities disproportionately affected by the justice system, aiming to improve lives through better court outcomes. In April 2026, the board announced Rachel Lyons as interim executive director and introduced her as the organization's executive director, effective that date.
