- The Center is seeking to hire a staff attorney to assist with cases in the Perlmutter Freedom Clinic.
- The Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice at Cardozo School of Law has two programmatic components: The Perlmutter Freedom Clinic, which trains students to work on cases involving scientific evidence, fight wrongful convictions based on the misuse of scientific evidence and obtain clemency for individuals unjustly incarcerated, and The Perlmutter Forensic Science Education Program, an ambitious continuing legal education program for practicing attorneys.
- The Center is led by Executive Director Josh Dubin, a prominent civil rights attorney and Deputy Director Derrick Hamilton, who won his own exoneration after serving twenty-one years for a wrongful conviction.
- Our cases focus on factual innocence, newly discovered evidence, ineffective assistance of counsel, prosecutorial misconduct and the misuse / misapplication of forensic science.
- Staff Attorneys litigate at trial court and appellate levels, in state and federal courts around the country.
