Laura Nirider
Co-Director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions & Post-Conviction Lawyer featured on Netflix's "Making a Murderer"
Laura Nirider is a Clinical Associate Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth (CWCY) at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law in Chicago. Nirider represents individuals who were wrongfully convicted of crimes when they were children or teenagers. Her clients have included Brendan Dassey, whose case was profiled in the Netflix Global series "Making a Murderer," and Damien Echols of the West Memphis Three, whose case was profiled in the documentary "West of Memphis."
In addition to her courtroom work, Nirider regularly publishes scholarly and practitioner-focused articles on interrogations and post-conviction relief. In partnership with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, she has co-authored one of the only existing juvenile interrogation protocols. She is also a frequent presenter on interrogations at defender and law enforcement training conferences around the country and has been featured in film and television programs on interrogations. Recently, she co-authored an amicus curiae brief that was cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in J.D.B. v. North Carolina for the proposition that the risk of false confession is "all the more troubling...and all the more acute...when the subject of custodial interrogation is a juvenile."
