Keith Findley, co-director of the Wisconsin Innocence Project,
will move from the clinical faculty at the UW Law School in July to
join the tenure -track faculty this summer. He is currently Clinical
Professor of Law in the Law School's Frank J. Remington Center, where
he serves as research director for the Remington Center and the
co-director of the Wisconsin Innocence Project. Prior to joining UW Law
School, Findley worked as an Assistant State Public Defender in
Wisconsin, both in the Appellate and Trial Divisions. Findley’s
research focuses on wrongful convictions, forensic science and the law,
eyewitness identification procedures, and interrogation and false
confessions.
“Keith is a great teacher and scholar,” said UW Law
School Dean Margaret Raymond. “His work in the Innocence Project has
been extraordinary, and he’s a remarkable clinical teacher. His work on
law and forensic science and law and science more broadly adds a very
significant dimension to our faculty. We’re delighted that he’ll be
continuing as a member of the Wisconsin faculty in his new role, which
will expand the time available for his already robust scholarly
reflections on innocence and on the criminal justice system generally.
We welcome his continuing contributions to our community and
intellectual life.”
Findley will teach Wrongful Convictions, Evidence, and Criminal Procedure.
