NACDL and subgrantee APA worked to produce a webinar on the operation of a successful CIU and its collaboration with the defense. On Tuesday March 5, 2019 at 3:00 PM EST this webinar kicked off the planned Conviction Integrity Webinar Mini-Series. To better understand the issues and practices related to Conviction Integrity and Conviction Review Units, the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys and Bureau of Justice Assistance presented a discussion of mechanics and obstacles of starting a conviction review unit and the results of a national survey of conviction review practices and units. Also, Travis Sewell of the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office will outlined his office's Conviction Integrity Unit and discuss how it was created and how it currently operates. Finally, Priya Sarathy-Jones of BJA will highlighted resources and funding opportunities for offices looking to create or enhance their conviction review processes or units.
