UBC Innocence Project

CPA has a lengthy partnership with the UBC Innocence Project, working with lawyers and law students on post-conviction cases suspected of wrongful conviction. The goals of the project are to:

• investigate claims of wrongful conviction;
• identify potential miscarriages of justice;
• assist in securing the release of individuals who have been wrongly convicted;
• educate law students about the causes of wrongful conviction;
• educate law students about the proper roles of professionals in the criminal justice system; and
• provide skills training for law students conducting post-conviction review work.
