Innocence Project co-founder Barry Scheck was one of four legal experts named Monday to review a notorious 1980s child molestation case featured in an Oscar-nominated documentary.

Students at Rutgers School of Law-Camden are helping federal inmates transition into post-prison life as part of a new pro bono effort. Rutgers’ program is unique because it relies on student volunteers who don’t receive academic credit, says Todd Berger, managing partner of the project.

A Texas judge who has been asked to re-examine arson evidence used to convict a man executed for killing his three daughters in a 1991 fire postponed a hearing Wednesday, after prosecutors asked him to step aside. Attorneys for Cameron Todd Willingham’s family, backed by the New York-based Innocence Project, are seeking to clear his name. If the judge clears Willingham, it will mark the first time an official in the nation’s most active death penalty state has formally declared that someone was wrongly executed.

A report issued Monday by the Northern California Innocence Project at Santa Clara University School of Law found that of the 707 cases between 1997 and 2009 in which courts explicitly determined that prosecutors had committed misconduct, only six prosecutors — 0.8 percent — were disciplined by the State Bar of California. Sixty-seven prosecutors committed misconduct more than once and some as many as five times. The majority of those prosecutors were never publicly disciplined, the project said.

Condominium buyers who seized on what has been described as a typo in offering documents by a Stroock & Stroock & Lavan lawyer Thursday won a round in the fight to recoup their deposits.
