This curriculum was assembled and created by the the Street Law Clinic at Georgetown University Law Center. The Street Law Clinic places Georgetown law students in public high schools in DC to teach a year-long course in practical law, or Street Law.  In the fall of 2011, as we brainstormed possible topics to engage our high school students when the law students were not teaching, Professor Roe suggested that we develop a unit based on the work of the Innocence Project.  The idea resonated immediately and we began exploring the available resources.  Surprisingly, there were very few lessons and no curriculum units designed to teach high school students about wrongful convictions, exonerations, and the important work of the Innocence Project.  So we decided to create one.
