LAW 7957 - Post-Conviction Clinic

The Post-Conviction Clinic gives students the opportunity to work on cases where the client has been convicted of a crime, has completed their direct appeals, and has exhausted all constitutionally guaranteed processes to someone accused of a crime. In cooperation with the Utah Appellate Defense Division of the Utah Indigent Defense Commission, students in the Post-Conviction Clinic assist to investigate and litigate cases where the client claims either that they are innocent of the crimes for which they have been convicted, or that their constitutional rights were violated before, during or after their trial.
