Please note that given the circumstances of COVID-19, there may be some modifications to the assessment schedule promoted in Handbook for Semester 1 2020 Units. Students will be notified of all approved modifications by Unit Coordinators via email and Unit Blackboard sites. Where changes have been made, these are designed to ensure that you still meet the unit learning outcomes in the context of our adjusted teaching and learning arrangements.
The Criminal Justice Review Project (CJRP) is committed to pursuing the exoneration of those who have been wrongly convicted. By identifying the factors that contribute to wrongful conviction, it seeks to facilitate law reform, equity and equality for all who encounter the justice system process. The CJRP is driven by students, senior legal practitioners and scholars who work collaboratively in an environment that fosters integrity, respect, personal excellence and rational enquiry, to review cases where wrongful conviction is claimed. Students working in the Project are involved with the investigation and case management of potentially innocent but convicted persons; providing students with hands on experience in working in a professional capacity on real life cases with exposure to learning case and file management skills, investigative practises, preparation of witness statements and briefs, and research skills. The CJRP develops future professionals who are committed to the values associated with justice for all. While students will work under supervision of an academic and qualified legal practitioner, any decisions in relation to the management of a convicted person's case will be the sole responsibility of the CJRP Director. To apply for the project, students apply by application to the unit coordinator and on acceptance will be enrolled in the unit CRI3302. Students must have attained a minimum of 60 credit points to be eligible.

This unit is offered in the on-campus mode only and runs for one full semester. The Project is driven by students under the guidance of academic scholars and a practising criminal barrister and students are required to contribute to cases by following the instruction of the unit coordinator and the supervising legal practitioner. While students will work under supervision of an academic and qualified legal practitioner, any decisions in relation to the management of a convicted person's case will be the sole responsibility of the CJRP Director. This unit requires weekly attendance on the Joondalup campus, for both team meetings and Project meetings with the students' supervising legal practitioner. In addition, reviewing case materials must also be undertaken on-campus in the designated CJRP room. Attendance at team and Project meetings will provide students with the opportunity to generate ideas in relation to the case evidence. The students' day-to-day activities will require them to further develop and demonstrate effective communication skills, teamwork skills and critical thinking skills.
