They established the Innocence Project in 1991 as a clinic for students at Yeshiva University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, where Scheck has taught for more than 20 years. The clinic is a low-key place, hidden away on the 11th floor of an office building on lower Fifth Avenue. Law students hunched up in cubicles pore over case files and draft legal motions. In a corner, boxes are piled high with letters from prisoners pleading to have the project take their case.

Leaving what now appears to me to be a mere molehill, we head off for a session in land navigation. We learn how to plot a route with a compass and a topographical map. We are then directed to find--as fast as we can--a set of checkpoints hidden in 50 acres of rolling hills, tree-dotted valleys and streambeds.
