THE WRONGFUL CONVICTION CLINIC

Innocence & Justice Louisiana partners with LSU Law Center to train the next generation for justice

At Innocence & Justice Louisiana, we know that building a more just future means training and educating the people who will lead it. We have partnered with the LSU Law Center to operate the Wrongful Conviction Clinic — an intensive, hands-on legal program where students learn what it really takes to fight for freedom for innocent people in prison.

This clinic is a front-line experience in post-conviction innocence work. Under the supervision of our expert attorneys, students represent clients, investigate real cases of wrongful conviction, develop legal strategies, and contribute directly to the pursuit of justice.

Why The Clinic Matters

The Wrongful Conviction Clinic offers law students a rare opportunity to bridge theory and practice while making a real impact. Students leave with deep legal insight, practical experience, and an unshakable commitment to reforming a system that routinely gets it wrong.

But the clinic isn’t just about education. It’s also a powerful resource for Innocence & Justice Louisiana, expanding our capacity to review cases and pursue justice for the wrongfully convicted.
