Innocence Network Conference

The Northern California Innocence Project is honored to be hosting the 2008 Innocence Network Conference March 28th - 30th. Hundreds of people involved in Innocence work throughout the country will meet at Santa Clara University for this conference. The Innocence Network conference is a rich educational forum for policy and litigation issues concerning wrongful conviction. It also provides a critical opportunity for exonerees to find social and emotional support from others who have suffered the unique and difficult experience of being wrongfully convicted and imprisoned. The conference allows those working within the larger Innocence Network to come together and share strategies to litigate innocence claims and to confer on and advance policy initiatives to address causes of and remedies for wrongful conviction.

Though aimed towards network members and exonerees, the Innocence Network conference is open to all who are interested in this issue. Register for the conference.

If you have questions, feel free to contact the conference coordinator, Amy Kennedy, at aekennedy@scu.edu or 408-554-1945 x 6189.
