Laura Nirider is a professor of Law at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law. She is director of the Center on Wrongful Conviction of Youth, and has taught widely about the methods and mistakes which can manipulate young people into false confessions.[1] Through her work with Brendan Dassey, a convicted youth offender, on the Netflix documentary Making a Murderer, Nirider has become an internationally-recognised figure concerning the deceitful convictions of children and conducting pro bono work to clear their names.[2][3]

Career Bearbeiten

Nirider studied her BA majoring in Political Science at the University of Chicago. She moved to Northwestern University to study for her Juris Doctor, graduating Magna cum Laude. After a year-long stint at Sidley Austin as a litigator, she returned to Northwestern as a Clinical Fellow in Law in 2009 and was promoted to Assistant Professor in 2013.[4][5]

Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth Bearbeiten

Since 2009 Nirider has been co-director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth, alongside Prof. Steven Drizin. An expert on how children can be coerced into giving a confession for crimes that they did not commit, Nirider often discusses purposeful or inadvertent tactics which can break down or misread young people.[6] She states that even well-meaning police interrogators can induce a false confession from vulnerable people.[2][7] Interrogation is often taught with the aim of extracting information from stubborn, hardened and fully-grown individuals, hence making it unsuitable for use on young people and especially vulnerable young people.[8][9][10][11] The center aims to tackle this issue through teaching upcoming law students, as well as attorneys and judges, and lobbying policy-makers.[3][12] One such law that Drizin helped to introduce was one requiring juvenile interviews in Wisconsin to be videotaped, which was enacted in time to play a significant role in the ongoing trials of Brendan Dassey.[10][13][14]

Nirider currently teaches law students about false confessions in young people, a course she attended herself when she was a student.[14][15][4] She has published extensively on the causes of false confessions and has been invited to give keynote talks at multitudes of conferences and symposia concerning issues within the justice system and forensic science.[4][16][17][18][19] Alongside the International Association of Police Chiefs, Nirider and members of the Center have published guidelines on how to effectively interview young people without coercing a false confession.[20]

Nirider has been interviewed about the concerning role of Reid technique interrogation being taught to school officials in order to extract confessions from students, highlighting the stark differences in awareness between adult and juvenile individuals.[21] Changes to interrogation techniques, such as a move away from the Reid technique, could benefit both innocent juveniles and adults.[22]

In 2017 her and Drizin were jointly awarded the Northwestern Law Alumni Award for Public Service, dedicated to the memory of Dawn Clark Netsch, in recognition of their work for the CWCY.[23]

Notable cases Bearbeiten

Brendan Dassey Bearbeiten

Brendan Dassey was featured on Making a Murderer. Nirider featured in the final episode of the first season of the documentary, which propelled her to fame among fans of the show thanks to her commitment to the cause and strong, intelligent demeanour.[9][24][25] She is featured throughout the second series as it chronicles the CWCYs efforts to remove Dassey’s confession being confirmed as evidence, the only piece of evidence that links him to the murder of Teresa Halbach.

Nirider has stated that one of her reasons for entering juvenile law (in particular focussing on false confessions) was her involvement in the Dassey case while Drizin’s postgraduate student in 2007.[5][14][15][3][19] Even while working briefly in commercial law Nirider continued to contribute to the Dassey case.[26] Dassey remains behind bars however efforts to prove that his confession was extracted through unsuitable methods, with Nirider and Drizin at the helm, remain ongoing.[5][27] Nirider is strongly critical of the methods used to interrogate a vulnerable and “mentally-limited” 16 year-old, as well as Dassey’s previous legal representation.[7][6][13][28]

Nirider, alongside Drizin, has undertaken tours of the UK and Ireland discussing her work on Making a Murderer and the science of coerced confessions.[29][30][15] She has been interviewed extensively by the media, and also Innocence Project, as a result of publicity from the documentary.[8][9][14][15]

Damien Echols Bearbeiten

Damien Echols was a member of the West Memphis Three who had been sentenced to death, but was released in 2011 with Nirider as co-counsel.[4] Nirider uses the cases of Echols and Dassey both to highlight the potential benefits of media attention to cases of wrongful guilt.[31] Featured on the documentary West of Memphis.[24]

Dixmoor 5 Bearbeiten

The Dixmoor 5 were a group of men believed to have given false confessions in police interviews. Nirider was co-counsel for three members and they were exonerated in 2011.[4]
