BCIP Clinic students work under the supervision of Prof. Beckman and Staff Attorneys Charlotte Whitmore and Lauren Jacobs to investigate and litigate post-conviction cases on behalf of clients who maintain they were wrongfully convicted in Massachusetts for crimes they did not commit. BCIP Clinic students meet with, interview, and counsel clients; plan and carry out factual investigations, including witness interviews; evaluate potential innocence cases to determine which ones to litigate; collaborate with co-counsel; work with expert witnesses; meet with prosecutors; draft legal research memoranda, investigative reports, correspondence, motions, affidavits, and memoranda of law; and prepare for and participate in judicial proceedings to obtain access to scientific testing of physical evidence, and to vacate the convictions of innocent clients and free them from wrongful imprisonment.
