"Intake and Triage of CIU Review Applications" was held as a online discussion on March 24, 2021 at 3pm EDT: Established in 2007, Dallas County’s Conviction Integrity Unit is the longest serving CIU in the United States. Over the last 14 years, the Dallas County CIU, currently led by Cynthia Garza, has been a model for other CIUs that have been created throughout the country. Much like other CIUs, Dallas County saw an influx of review applications once more people learned about what the unit was doing. Ms. Garza explained the CIU's protocols of reviewing applications with focus on lessons learned, prioritization, and how to effectively and justly work through a barrage of review applications.
