You are formally invited to the Women Defenders 2010 Spring Event honoring Kathleen “Cookie” Ridolfi, Executive Director of the Northern California Innocence Project. This year’s event will be held on Thursday, May 13, at Heart in San Francisco (1270 Valencia Street), with festivities to kick off at 6:00 p.m.
It will be a fabulous evening of food, drinks, and camaraderie, honoring an exceptional woman whose contribution to the defense community is unparalleled.
Cookie is a pioneer in her field, working tirelessly as both director of the NCIP and Professor of Law at Santa Clara to exonerate innocent individuals who have been convicted for crimes they did not commit. She is a defender of the defenseless and someone who has committed her career, and her life, to advocating for those who cannot advocate for themselves.
Women Defenders is honored to be able to recognize Cookie for her achievements!
