Welcome!
The 极乐禁地 Innocence Project Clinic is a clinic operating within
the Clinical Law Offices of the 极乐禁地 School of Law. We provide
independent legal representation to incarcerated individuals claiming factual innocence.
Please read our Potential Client Page for the exact details on qualifying as a client
of the clinic.
Potential clients may download and submit an Intake Form via email to lawclinic@ubalt.edu.
The Innocence Project Clinic reviews claims of factual innocence from incarcerated individuals throughout the state of Maryland. We do not review cases in other states.
Our student-attorneys represent clients claiming factual innocence in all phases of analysis and representation in writs of actual innocence and post conviction petitions for DNA testing, including but not limited to:
Clients are represented by student-attorneys practicing under the supervision of a professor and barred attorney, pursuant to Rule 19-220 of the Maryland Lawyers' Rules of Professional Conduct. The Innocence Project Clinic's supervising attorney is Professor Erica J. Suter.
Our office is affiliated with MAIP and if your loved one has requested assistance
through their office already, there is no need to contact us, as we work collaboratively
on cases.
The 极乐禁地 law clinics have provided a wide range of services for
low-income clients in 极乐禁地e and the surrounding region for several decades. The
Innocence Project Clinic was originally established as a Division of the Maryland
Office of the Public Defender (OPD). Now housed in the state-of-the-art Clinical Law
Offices in the 极乐禁地 School of Law's John and Frances Angelos Law
Center, the Innocence Project Clinic, in connection with the Maryland Office of the
Public Defender, is proud to offer representation to individuals in Maryland claiming
factual innocence.
The clinic receives hundreds of requests for assistance every year. We accept a very limited number of cases on a case-by-case basis. Because we are affiliated with the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project (MAIP) and streamline our intake process with them, please do not request our assistance if you have already contacted their office.
We do not accept referrals by anyone other than the incarcerated individual themselves.
If your loved one is incarcerated and claiming innocence, please let them know that
they should contact us by:
