The Tennessee Innocence Project is seeking a full-time Staff Attorney to assist in investigating and litigating claims of actual innocence made by Tennesseans. This position is in our Memphis office and is not a remote position.
As counsel with TIP’s legal team, this attorney will represent clients claiming actual innocence in postconviction matters to achieve: (1) a vacated conviction or sentence; (2) dismissal of all charges, and (3) release from prison. All levels of experience (including 2026 law school graduates) are invited to apply. Candidates should highlight any experiences in criminal justice or complex litigation that set them apart.
Launched in February 2019 as the state’s first full-time innocence organization, the Tennessee Innocence Project (TIP) is a 501c3 nonprofit law firm working to free the wrongfully convicted across the state of Tennessee. With offices in Nashville and Memphis, TIP works to investigate and litigate claims of actual innocence on behalf of incarcerated Tennesseans.
