The Great North Innocence Project Speakers Bureau is comprised of staff, Board members, and expert volunteers with a passion for educating our community about the causes, consequences, and remedies of wrongful convictions as well as the Great North Innocence Project’s mission. By using real Great North Innocence Project case examples, speakers educate audiences about how wrongful convictions occur and the ways that each of us can be involved to prevent wrongful convictions from happening in the future. 

Speakers are prepared to present between 20 minutes to two hours and are available for in-person and virtual events. Speakers are able to present at a variety of events including lunch & learns, panel discussions, CLE’s for legal professionals, high school and college courses, criminal justice association convenings, and more.
