National Innocence Project Conference
David A. Clarke School of Law at the University of the District of Columbia
The 2005 conference is being hosted by IPNCR and will convene experts and advocates discussing the most recent developments in the national movement to free unjustly incarcerated citizens.
The conference will address specific "how-to" topics in working on wrongful conviction cases, but will also address current policy and reform issues and initiatives.
The conference is very inclusive and interactive and invites criminal defense attorneys, Innocence Project staff and volunteers, law school faculty and students, legislators, judges, wrongful conviction advocates, exonerees, and anyone with a keen interest in the integrity of our criminal justice system.
For information on the Conference, please visit http://wcl.american.edu/innocenceproject
