Doug Prade Exonerated After 15 Years Thanks to Work of OIP
On January 29, 2013 former Akron Police Captain Douglas Prade—and a longtime OIP client—was exonerated. He walked free after 15 years in prison for the murder of his ex-wife. DNA testing conducted by the OIP, along with additional extensive investigation over the course of a decade, proved his innocence. Prade is the 16th person freed through the work of the OIP.

When Jacklyn (Johnston) McGlothlin '13 was younger, she jokingly told her father, an attorney, that she was creating a list of reasons why she did not want to become an attorney. Flash forward several years and McGlothlin is just three months from graduating from law school and beginning her preparations for the Ohio bar exam. 
Specter might be the first College of Law graduate ever to pursue winemaking as a full-time career. He is certainly the only one from his graduating class with that distinction. But while most of his classmates are working in some legal capacity and he is now in Oregon making wine, that does not mean Specter's legal education and experience are now irrelevant. "What law school does is give you a skill set. Most importantly, you learn how to think critically."
