LAW 828LEC - Innocence & Justice Project

Project students will investigate and litigate cases on behalf of prisoners who may be actually innocent of the crimes for which they have been convicted or unjustly convicted. The Project will focus on cases where there is no biological evidence to be tested. Students will work on all aspects of the cases, including investigating new evidence, preparing State post-conviction Motions, conducting hearings and arguing Motions in court in connection therewith. Participation in the Project is by permission of the instructor. Pre-requisite: State and Federal Post Conviction Remedies.
