Arizona Innocence Project
Welcome to the home of NAU’s Arizona Innocence Project (AIP). The AIP is a live-client actual innocence clinic that investigates Arizona cases of alleged wrongful conviction. Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with our website, and feel free to contact us for assistance, to support our efforts, or even if you just have a question about wrongful conviction. We look forward to hearing from you.
Whats New in the AIP?

Testimonials
“To truly be advocates for justice, we must acknowledge the reality and the injustice of wrongful convictions. The Arizona Innocence Project serves an important role in our criminal justice system, by vigorously reviewing cases of potential actual innocence while also maintaining a sensitivity to the hardships that can result to victims in these cases.”
David Rozema
Coconino County Attorney
"If you want peace, work for justice." The Arizona Innocence Project has taken up the call and has served as a beacon to bring that feeling of peace through their work for justice. While the work of the Innocence Project looks at the facts and changes in technology to prove their cases they focus on one other essential element: the life of a human being. In their outreach they attempt to remind a person of their innate dignity as a human being, and the rights that are to be guaranteed to ensure that they are treated justly. While the letter of the law may not always find in favor of the work of the Innocence Project, there is no doubt that as they have heard the cry of the poor their work to bring about justice fills this world with peace one person at time.“

Testimonials
“Simply put, joining the AIP changed the entire trajectory of my life. Once I began investigating the outrageous claims of misconduct and malfeasance all in the name of obtaining convictions, I knew that I had found my calling. Through the AIP, I obtained a summer internship, which ultimately led to my current full-time position as the Administrative Coordinator & Policy Analyst at the Ohio Innocence Project. After two years with the AIP, I was able to handle running an innocence law clinic at one of the top law schools in the country. I was prepared at the AIP on policy issues, so much so that I was knowledgable enough to work on Senate Bill 77 (The Innocence Protection Act) with the Governor of Ohio and many Ohio Senators and Representatives. I have the AIP to thank for my success and amazing opportunities that continue to happen in the small world of the innocence community.”
