Politicians and lawyers will be among the speakers at a rally in Hobart calling for a change to legal appeal legislation to allow a convicted killer to have her case heard.

Hobart woman Susan Neill-Fraser is in jail for the 2009 killing of her partner Bob Chappell, but a community group continues to argue her innocence.

It's offering a $40,000 reward for information leading to her release and will hold a rally on Saturday.

Former Tasmanian premier and now shadow attorney-general Lara Giddings, along with Hobart lawyer Greg Barns, will address the rally and a family member will read a message from Neill-Fraser.

The event will be held from midday on the lawns of Hobart's parliament house.
