Jon Eldan is an attorney and the founder of After Innocence, a non-profit that provides re-entry assistance for exonerees nationwide and advocates for policy reform on their behalf. He works directly with nearly 300 exonerees across 32 states, primarily on ensuring access to healthcare, public benefits and pro bono legal representation. He will talk about the legal issues involved in proving actual innocence, structuring meaningful compensation laws, litigating civil rights suits arising from wrongful conviction, and innovative approaches to making amends with those who pay a horrific price for our justice system’s mistakes.

Co-sponsored by the Stanford Criminal Justice Center, SLS Criminal Law Society, and the Levin Center for Public Service and Public Interest Law.
