Speaker Bio: Keith Findley teaches in the clinical programs at the Law School's Frank J. Remington Center, where he has served as co-director of the Criminal Appeals Project and where he co-directs the Wisconsin Innocence Project (which he co-founded with Professor John Pray). Through the Wisconsin Innocence Project, students investigate and litigate claims of actual innocence based upon newly discovered evidence on behalf of wrongly convicted prisoners. Through the Criminal Appeals Project, students work under public defender and court appointments representing state and federal defendants appealing their criminal convictions and sentences.
Prof. Findley's primary areas of expertise are in criminal defense work and appellate advocacy. He has previously worked as an Assistant State Public Defender in Wisconsin, both in the Appellate and Trial Divisions. He has litigated hundreds of postconviction and appellate cases, at all levels of state and federal courts, including the United States Supreme Court. At the Law School, he has taught criminal procedure, and regularly teaches courses on appellate advocacy and wrongful convictions. He also lectures and teaches nationally on appellate advocacy and wrongful convictions.
