innocence clinic

An Innocence Clinic is a legal program or organization dedicated to examining and addressing wrongful convictions. Typically associated with law schools or legal institutions, it involves students and experts reviewing cases where innocent people have been found guilty. The clinic investigates new evidence, consults with affected individuals, and works to uncover errors such as false confessions, mistaken identification, or mishandled evidence. Its goal is to seek justice by helping to overturn wrongful convictions and prevent future injustices, thereby ensuring the integrity of the legal system and protecting individual rights.
