California Western School of Law’s Innocence Clinic Open to Students

SAN DIEGO (March 29, 2024) – California Western School of Law (CWSL)’s Innocence Clinic is now open to students looking to receive academic credit to work on innocence and post-conviction cases. This will be the first time that CWSL will offer students the opportunity to participate in clinical innocence work during the summer session. 

Over the past few months, CWSL’s partnership with Megan D. Baca and her team at California Innocence Advocates (Cal-IA) have provided volunteer opportunities for students to help free the wrongly convicted from prison, receiving critical hands-on experience in innocence work. 

CWSL and Cal-IA are now pleased to be able to offer the Innocence Clinic for four units of academic credit during the Summer 2024 academic term, which begins May 19.

Students will work alongside experienced post-conviction attorneys to seek the release of wrongfully convicted prisoners in California.
