Pro Bono Partnership Opportunities

GNIP’s pro bono partnership program is a vital component of our mission to seek justice for the wrongfully convicted. By forming strong, collaborative partnerships with law firms and legal professionals, we ensure that our clients receive the highest quality legal representation, free of cost, while fostering long-term relationships with the legal community.

Law Student Opportunities

The Great North Innocence Project offers opportunities for current law students to gain first-hand experience in post-conviction investigation and litigation through wrongful conviction courses and innocence clinics at the University of Minnesota School of Law, Mitchell Hamline School of Law, University of North Dakota Law School, and University of South Dakota Law School.

GNIP also hires law students for summer clerkships each year. These positions typically open in January. Click below to see current openings.
