Summary of Service

The Innocence Project was founded at Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld in New York in 1992. There are now a growing number of Innocence Projects in the USA, UK and the rest of the world. The City Law School is proud to be part of only four Innocence Projects operating in the UK today and 72 operating across the world. The City Law School Innocence Project has three primary aims: To review/investigate potential miscarriages of criminal justice. To educate students about wrongful convictions, providing them with practical legal skills. To conduct research together with the Criminal Justice and Human Rights Centre addressing the multiple challenges facing criminal justice both nationally and internationally. As part of The City Law School Innocence project, students will support clients in drafting applications to the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) under the supervision of qualified criminal lawyers.
