I have exciting news to share, John:
|
I’m proud to announce the Innocence Project’s new partnership with the NYU School of Law, which will deepen the capacity and impact of our work and provide NYU students with invaluable hands-on exposure to wrongful conviction litigation and advocacy.
|
Through this partnership, NYU students will gain access to some of the country’s leading experts on wrongful conviction, and we will tap into NYU’s centers of academic excellence to advance the scope of our work. Learn more about how this partnership will help advance the innocence movement:

|
The NYU/Innocence Project post-conviction litigation clinic will offer NYU Law students an opportunity to get hands-on experience in post-conviction litigation, working on cases presenting strong claims of innocence.
|
This is an incredibly powerful partnership, John — Innocence Project is one of the most transformative criminal legal reform organizations in the country, and NYU is a pioneer in the field of public interest law that draws the nation’s best and brightest students and scholars. And I know that our staff and clients will benefit enormously from NYU’s energy and experience.

I could not be more excited about this major milestone in expanding our impact and strengthening our fight against wrongful convictions. Learn more about our exciting new partnership here:
