Qualifications for Consideration to
Loyola’s Life After Innocence Group
Loyola's Life After Innocence clinic will consider clients who meet the following requirements:
- Any person that was wrongfully convicted of a crime and served part or all of the sentence ("Wrongfully convicted" refers to cases that, after being overturned, were either nolle prosessed or rendered a not-guilty); or
- Any person that was unjustly arrested, received a not-guilty verdict, and spent at least 5 years in jail awaiting trial.
Life After Innocence does not accept clients who have had previous convictions for violent crimes, including, but not limited to: rape, murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, or armed robbery.
* Regardless of these requirements, Life After Innocence ultimately retains discretion in deciding whether to accept a client to its program.
