When law students grapple with complicity in compensation processes

My law school clinic partner and I are representing someone seeking compensation for wrongful conviction, but the process is so bureaucratic and dehumanizing that we're questioning whether we're helping our client or just providing cover for a system that wants to appear fair.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Participating in inadequate remedial processes forces advocates to choose between imperfect help and principled refusal, with clients bearing the consequences.
