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.

Work done in an actual workplace in which the student applies discipline-specific knowledge and skills, supervised by an industry professional at an ECU campus or location.
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.

Integrity is a core value at Edith Cowan University, and it is expected that ECU students complete their assessment tasks honestly and with acknowledgement of other people's work as well as any generative artificial intelligence tools that may have been used. This means that assessment tasks must be completed individually (unless it is an authorised group assessment task) and any sources used must be referenced.
Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Copying the words, ideas or creative works of other people or generative artificial intelligence tools, without referencing in accordance with stated University requirements. Students need to seek approval from the Unit Coordinator within the first week of study if they intend to use some of their previous work in an assessment task (self-plagiarism).
Working with other students and submitting the same or substantially similar work or portions of work when an individual submission was required. This includes students knowingly providing others with copies of their own work to use in the same or similar assessment task(s).
Organising a friend, a family member, another student or an external person or organisation (e.g. through an online website) to complete or substantially edit or refine part or all of an assessment task(s) on their behalf.
Using or having access to unauthorised materials in an exam or test.
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
ECU's policies and more information about academic integrity can be found on the student academic integrity website.
All commencing ECU students are required to complete the Academic Integrity Module.
In some circumstances, Students may apply to their Unit Coordinator to extend the due date of their Assessment Task(s) in accordance with ECU's Assessment, Examination and Moderation Procedures - for more information visit https://askus2.ecu.edu.au/s/article/000001386.
