California Western Innocence and Justice Clinic

The California Western Innocence and Justice Clinic (IJC) (formerly known as California Innocence Project) provides high-caliber representation to individuals who are wrongfully convicted with a goal of securing their release from prison. Through this representation, IJC trains the next generation of attorneys, giving them hands-on experience so they learn to be zealous advocates. IJC uses innocence cases as a lens to illuminate the myriad problems within our criminal legal system, with the hope that we can work towards a system that is more just.
