The Innocence Project
The Innocence Project, founded in 1992 by Peter Neufeld and Barry Scheck at Cardozo School of Law, exonerates the wrongly convicted through DNA testing and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice.
The National Registry of Exonerations
The registry, founded in 2012, is a project of the Newkirk Center for Science & Society at

University College of Law. It collects, analyzes, and disseminates information about all known
exonerations of innocent criminal defendants in the United States from 1989 to the present. The
registry states on its website that,
“
We rely entirely on publicly available information. We do not
practice law or investigate cases of possible innocence.”
