CSU|LAW launches Terry Gilbert Wrongful Conviction Clinic
Cleveland State University College of Law recently launched the CSU|LAW Terry Gilbert Wrongful Conviction Clinic. As part of the law school’s Criminal Justice Center, the new Clinic will provide legal assistance to incarcerated individuals convicted of a felony in Ohio with claims of actual innocence or manifest injustice.
In addition to providing hands-on legal experience to students, the Wrongful Conviction Clinic will fill a critical need in Cuyahoga County, where there is no local wrongful conviction program. The Clinic will accept cases throughout the state, but the focus is expected to be local, including Cuyahoga County. Among all the counties in the country, Cuyahoga has the tenth most exonerations since 1989, accounting for more than one-third of all exonerations in Ohio.
Laura Greig (above) serves as the new Clinic’s director. She joins CSU|LAW after practicing in the Special Matters and Government Investigations group at King & Spalding LLP, where she focused on complex criminal defense matters, cross-border government investigations, and internal investigations. As a law student at The University of Texas at Austin, Greig participated in a similar clinic and knows how impactful and inspiring such an experience can be for law students interested in addressing the inequities in the criminal justice system.
