Description

In this course, along with LAW-754-005, students will perform factual investigations in the cases of actual prisoners who have contacted the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project claiming to be innocent of the crimes for which they are in prison. Students will review case files, gather documents, locate witnesses, conduct interviews, and build relationships with the clients and their families. Students are expected to devote approximately 5-10 hours per week to this course. For more information, please contact the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project's Assistant Director, Eily Raman, at ERaman@exonerate.org.
