I need to find law school or journalism student groups who help death-row inmates by investigating cases.?

I recently discovered a man in Ely, NV's maximum security prison. He has been on death row for 28 years. He has consistently claimed his innocence in this robbery/murder.

According to his trial transcript, his public defenders asked to be recused because several members of their firm were close friends with the victim, but the judge denied them. The trial was a farce.

I know that groups have fought to save men like him through investigating & knowing the right contacts. I need to learn who they are & how to contact them. Can anyone help me? I am a former investigative reporter for a magazine, & this case is very fishy. No witnesses, and the only evidence was a partial fingerprint on exterior of the victim's car.

This a a VietNam vet who earned an AA degree before his conviction, a ParaLegal certificate in prison, and has been a model prisoner. Early in his imprisonment he was attacked by other prisoners and lost an eye.

google innocence project. A lot of law schools participate in it.

So much 'fun' to learn in depth about our "justice" system, isn't it?? <insert sarcasm>
Your background in investigation is a huge help, since you know what to be looking for, including records to back you up.
