Project for the Innocent

ACC-SoCal will be participating in Jenner & Block’s Project for the Innocent Pro Bono CLE Event on Tuesday, February 21^st at noon in their Los Angeles office, located at 633 W. 5^th St., Suite 3600. Professor Laurie Levenson, who leads Loyola’s Project for the Innocent (LPI), will be presenting a CLE training on how to screen innocence cases to find meritorious ones. At the conclusion of the event, we will discuss ways to partner with each other and Professor Levenson to evaluate these cases and assist those who have been wrongfully convicted.

This screening project involves reviewing information provided by the prisoner, legal documents including appellate briefs and decisions, and evidence from the prisoner’s trial, and drafting a memo explaining why we do or do not recommend that the case be accepted for further investigation.

This event is open to lawyers and paralegals. There is an option to attend virtually via Zoom. Lunch will be served for in-person attendees
