Team Kenan invites you to Do Lunch with Theresa Newman, Clinical Professor of Law and faculty advisor to the student-led Innocence Project.
Prof. Newman has dedicated her life to bringing justice to those who have been wrongfully convicted of crimes. As the co-director of the Wrongful Convictions Clinic and the associate director of the Duke Law School Center for Criminal Justice and Professional Responsibility, Newman has extensive experience tackling the ethical obligations of the legal system to the people it serves. As the advisor to the Innocence Project, Newman oversees a group of students at Duke Law who work to exonerate victims of wrongful convictions, engage in policy reform, and help exonerees in their reintegration to society. She also sits on the board of the international Innocence Network, of which the Innocence Project is a part.
Join us for a conversation on the strengths and flaws of the legal system and how we can work to improve it.
When: March 6th at noon
