About Los Angeles Innocence Project

The Los Angeles Innocence Project (LAIP) is a nonprofit legal organization that provides pro bono legal representation and investigatory services to indigent individuals in Central and Southern California who were convicted of crimes they did not commit. We are part of a groundbreaking collaboration with Cal State LA’s California Forensic Science Institute’s (CFSI) academic graduate program in criminalistics and forensics. LAIP’s mission is to exonerate the wrongly convicted; free the wrongfully incarcerated; uncover and remedy past misuse of forensic and other scientific evidence in the courtroom; improve standards for the use of forensic and other scientific evidence in the courtroom; and improve the dialogue between scientists and stakeholders in the criminal legal system and reform the criminal legal system to prevent future injustice.
