The Budd Innocence Center aims to educate students, improve the criminal justice system, and enable students and faculty to work together to provide assistance to innocent Texas prisoners.
The Budd Innocence Center hosted Tucker Carrington, Director of the George C. Cochran Innocence Project at the University of Mississippi School of Law and Radley Balko of The Washington Post.
Texas Law celebrates a generous gift from Russell and Dorothy Budd of Dallas to create a new center focused on protecting the innocent and improving the criminal justice system.
