We appreciate how
-
You routinely receive more requests than you can promptly process.
​​
-
Criminal courts routinely deny their own errors and typically are not incentivized to take responsibility for their costly mistakes.
​​
-
It takes the adversarial legal process a long time to review each case, forcing your clients to wait years to maybe find justice.
​​
When the claimant exhausts all legal options...
​Now they have an alternative to the slow, unresponsive legal process: Responsive Innocence.
The EIF exists to serve at least a dozen aims.​
Consider how it can help you identify the immense scope of wrongful convictions. And then use this data to attract funders to expand your resources to process such viable claims.
Join us in rapidly identifying and responding to viable innocence claims.
Need-response regards all wrongly convicted innocents overlooked by the adversarial legal process as "unexonerated".
The EIF could publicize their unexonerated cases. And draw attention to improve resources to clear these mounting viable claims.
Join us in exploring more responsive ways to free the innocent.
NOTE: This was orginally available on the ValueRelating.com website. That site will soon be phased out. If you previously downloaded the EIF there, find more support for it here.

This continues to be a work in progress. Your constructive feedback to help improve it is appreciated. If you have a suggestion or a question, click here.
