Clay Waterman serves as the managing attorney for intake and case evaluation of the Pennsylvania Innocence Project. He supervises intake for all case submissions, assesses complex innocence claims, and coordinates investigations into cases where innocence claims cannot be determined from document analysis alone. This work informs Clay's role in litigating cases of actual innocence, including developing legal strategy and preparing for legal proceedings. Clay also oversees volunteer attorneys and legal interns to train both groups in how to assist in case analysis. In addition, Clay fosters partnerships with law firms, through which he facilitates local pro bono efforts.
