Our volunteers work on two fronts, namely fulfilling roles within the Casework and Outreach teams. The Casework team, supervised by experienced criminal defence attorneys, investigates claims of wrongful conviction, whilst the Outreach team is tasked with planning and promoting events aimed at raising awareness about wrongful convictions.

Hiring is done at the beginning of the fall semester, for the fall-winter semesters, and again at the end of the winter semester, to fill roles for the summer semester.Ìý Please note that we only consider applications from ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Law students.
