Sarah Jean-Charles believes that every person deserves justice and fairness in their interactions with the criminal justice system. That’s why she joined the Innocence Project in its mission to free wrongly convicted people and reform the system.

As a legal assistant, she assists the post-conviction litigation department with the case-related needs of the department and various projects as needed. She provides critical support to both attorneys and paralegals alike to facilitate the day-to-day operations of the department. She is grateful for the opportunity to be able to participate in the intense work that goes into freeing our innocent clients.

Sarah previously worked at the New York City Law Department, where she was a paralegal aide for the Operations Division. She is a graduate of John Jay College of Criminal Justice where she received her Master’s in Criminal Justice.

Sarah enjoys baking, journaling and reading in her free time.
