The Exoneration Project Clinical Teachers Jon Loevy Russell Ainsworth Gayle Horn Tara Thompson Third Year Students Robert Baca Roger Lee Cadence Mertz L. David Russell Ashley Shumacher Marc Tarlock Sarah Waxman Second Year Students Andrew Lin Marianna Mancusi-Ungaro Emily Sheffield Daniel Tobon Project Goals The Exoneration Project represents clients who have been convicted of crimes of which they are innocent. The Project assists clients in asserting their claims of actual innocence in state and federal court. Student participants are involved in all aspects of post-conviction litigation, including selecting cases, uncovering and developing new evidence of our clients’ innocence, and filing and litigating post-conviction petitions, habeas petitions, clemency petitions, and motions for forensic testing. The goals of the Exoneration Project are not only to correct individual injustices that have resulted in the conviction of innocent persons, but also to shed light on more widespread problems in the criminal justice system. The Project also seeks to encourage more interest among the bar for representing clients in need of post-conviction assistance. Second-year students wishing to enroll in the Project are encouraged to take Evidence and Criminal Procedure in their second year. Third-year students are required to complete, prior to their third year, Evidence, Criminal Procedure I, Pretrial Advocacy, and either the Intensive Trial Practice Workshop or Trial Advocacy. |
