Duke Law’s Wrongful Convictions Clinic, led by Prof. Jamie Lau (Supervising Attorney) and Prof. Jim Coleman (Director), featured in the latest @IndyWeek as a model of effective innocence work here in North Carolina! “I hope that the clinic will continue as long as there are people who are wrongfully convicted in prisons in North Carolina. The work and the skills that we develop will be important in the practice of law into the foreseeable future,” said Prof. Coleman, clinic director and director of the Center for Criminal Justice and Professional Responsibility. “Great to see Indy Week highlighting the work of former Duke Law students Caitlin Swain, Nakita Cuttino, and Shoshana Silverstein-a few of the many excellent students that have helped us achieve justice,” Prof. Lau, who is also faculty adviser to the Duke Innocence Project, tweeted from earlier today.
