Committed to correcting the miscarriage of justice

Notre Dame Law School’s Exoneration Justice Clinic is committed to correcting the miscarriage of justice and investigating, litigating, and overturning wrongful convictions.

The clinic provides law students with real-world lawyering experience representing clients who were wrongfully convicted. By working in the clinic, students also gain invaluable insight into the criminal justice system.

The Exoneration Justice Clinic provides clients who are exonerated access to a network of social support services, such as education and vocational training, transitional housing, and health care services, including mental health counseling, and other support programs. Access to a network of social services will assist the client in successfully reintegrating into society.

Notre Dame Law Professor Jimmy Gurulé, a former federal prosecutor, is the Exoneration Justice Clinic’s director.
