Description:

The Sellenger Centre Innocence Project is committed to pursuing the exoneration of those who have been wrongly convicted.  By identifying the factors that contribute to wrongful conviction, it seeks to facilitate law reform, equity and equality for all who encounter the justice system process.  The project is driven by students, senior legal practitioners and scholars who work collaboratively in an environment that fosters integrity, respect, personal excellence and rational enquiry.  The Sellenger Centre Innocence Project develops future professionals who are committed to the values associated with justice for all.  While students will work under supervision of an academic and qualified legal practitioner, any decisions in relation to the management of a convicted person's case will be the sole responsibility of the supervising legal practitioner.

Acceptance to this unit will be by application ONLY.
