Ventura County Justice Services houses two units tasked with ensuring that justice is upheld through the District Attorney's office. The Writs, Appeals and Training Unit investigates and responds to all writs and appeals related to state courts. These cases often include petitions for a new trial or requests to reconsider evidence presented at trial. The Conviction Integrity unit focuses on those cases in which individuals make claims of evidence and support those claims with credible evidence not presented at trial. This unit cannot consider appeals based on reevaluations of old evidence or requests to exonerate deceased individuals. For those qualify, the Conviction Integrity Unit conducts a thorough investigation into the new evidence and helps the District Attorney's office determine if there is substantial reason to revisit the outcomes of the case in question.
