This report provides an overview of the participants‘ discussions at the International Perspectives on Wrongful Convictions Workshop. The report mainly covers the dialogue at the workshop, but it also provides descriptions of practices to prevent and correct wrongful convictions. Citations are available in the report so that readers may follow up on these alternative practices in detail. The workshop agenda began with discussions of the legal system and proceeded in a reverse manner through the criminal justice process because of scheduling conflicts. This report reverses the order of the discussion and goes through the criminal justice process from beginning to end to improve the flow of the report. The report includes Professor C. Ronald Huff‘s lunchtime discussion of his book ―Wrongful Convictions: International Perspectives on Miscarriages of Justice.
