Welcome to the Hawai`i Innocence Project
Home Page.
The Hawai`i
Innocence Project
operates as a cooperative effort of the University of Hawai`i's William S. Richardson School of Law and the
California Western
School of Law.
The Hawai`i Innocence Project is not for profit; it exists for
the purposes of providing free representation to persons wrongly
convicted of crime and still incarcerated, who have a credible claim of
actual innocence. All work on Hawai`i matters is handled in Hawai`i by
Hawai`i attorneys and student volunteers supervised by those attorneys.
For some news stories about the Hawai`i Innocence project, see
HIP In the News
To propose a case
for review, the inmate must complete the forms (click

All screening of applications
will be done through the San Diego office so as not to duplicate staff
and consume resources. Calls and letters should be directed to
the San Diego Office at:
