Korey Wise Innocence Project

Despite safeguards in our criminal legal system, innocent people are convicted of crimes and sentenced to years in prison. The Korey Wise Innocence Project (KWIP) at Colorado Law works to exonerate the wrongfully convicted in Colorado. We also advocate for reforms to prevent future injustices. We'll never have a perfect system, but KWIP is dedicated to doing what it can to fix as many mistakes as possible. The Korey Wise Innocence Project provides free investigative and legal services to people serving time in Colorado prisons for crimes they did not commit. As part of the Colorado Law and CU Boulder community, KWIP's staff also mentors law students and undergraduate students in both the legal and advocacy work of our project. People claiming innocence can apply to KWIP for help. We screen applications carefully and then select the most promising ones for investigation and litigation. Exonerations typically do not happen without a fight. At KWIP, we turn over every stone to achieve justice for our clients.
