This August, Colorado Law was thrilled to welcome four new staff: three to the Korey Wise Innocence Project (KWIP), and one to the Immigration Law Clinic. Both KWIP and the clinical education program provide invaluable pro bono legal services to those in our community, with KWIP working to exonerate the wrongfully convicted in Colorado. Our new staff will further our pursuit to achieve justice for our clients, and we are incredibly grateful for the resources that have allowed us to expand these programs to continue serving individuals who could not otherwise hire an attorney.����
