Innocence & Justice Louisiana

Innocence & Justice Louisiana (formerly Innocence Project New Orleans) is the only nonprofit law firm in Louisiana focused on post-conviction relief representation and long-term support after release. We also drive systemic reform – challenging the laws and practices that have made Louisiana the most incarcerated place on Earth.

We represent people who have been wrongfully convicted and sent to prison, often for the rest of their lives. These innocent people are not provided legal teams by the state of Louisiana. Our attorneys and investigators fight to free the innocent by uncovering new evidence, exposing misconduct, and exonerating them.
