Twenty-five years ago, we began as lawyers, advocates and Cardozo Law School students determined to use science to end wrongful convictions.

Over more than two decades, we've helped restore liberty to hundreds of innocent people and reformed almost as many laws and judicial practices, protecting millions more.
