The Tennessee Innocence Project is a non-profit organization dedicated to investigating and litigating claims of actual innocence. The Project's primary areas of focus are - Investigating and litigating wrongful conviction cases for those in Tennessee prisons to obtain exonerations, training law students and attorneys about how to litigate these cases and how to prevent future wrongful convictions, and effectuating changes that facilitate the discovery of wrongful convictions and remedies to the wrongfully convicted. The project is operated at the University of Tennessee College of Law within the UT Legal Clinic. The project review requests for assistance, investigate cases, litigate innocence and wrongful convictions claims, and make efforts at criminal justice policy reform. In addition to the PC DNA Act, volunteer attorneys, law professors and law students working with the Tennessee Innocence Project are instrumental in investigating and litigating actual innocence and wrongful convictions cases that led to appellate decisions in Tennessee that created procedures for innocence claims to be raised when there is no DNA evidence and the conviction was years – even decades – in the past.
