About the Innocence Network

The Innocence Network is an affiliation of organizations dedicated to providing pro bono legal and investigative services to individuals seeking to prove innocence of crimes for which they have been convicted and working to redress the causes of wrongful convictions.

We invite you to use this site as a resource for amicus briefs on post-conviction innocence claims and to learn more about our members, our annual conference and our membership guidelines.

In 2011, the work of Innocence Network member organizations led to the exoneration of 21 people imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. Read a report on the exonerations of 2011 here.

The Innocence Network recognizes the fact that in working to prove the innocence of the wrongfully convicted, victims and family and friends of victims are often affected, which may cause legitimate concerns and fears. The Innocence Network has adopted a Statement Concerning Victims which addresses those concerns.
