Michigan chapter of American Constitution Society presents 'Fight for Innocence' October 13 The Michigan Chapter of the American Constitution Society presents, "The Fight for Innocence." With the dwindling resources available to fund indigent criminal defense, the risk of convicting the innocent is as great as it has ever been. And the narrowing of habeas corpus relief has made it exceedingly difficult to free the wrongly-convicted. The students and faculty of the Innocence Clinic at the University of Michigan Law School are on the front lines of the fight to exonerate the innocent convicted defendants who linger in our prisons. Bridget McCormack, the Co-Director of the Innocence Project, will discuss the Clinic's mission and the many challenges it faces as it attempts to carry out that mission. She will also describe some of the Clinic's most significant victories and how the Clinic has proven the innocence of those condemned to lengthy prison terms. Don't miss this unique opportunity to hear directly from one of the real leaders in the fight to achieve justice for those whom the criminal justice system has failed. This event will be held October 14 at 12:30 at the University of Detroit Law School. Attendees should feel free to bring a brown bag lunch.
