a) a loose affiliation of lawyers who identify cases where a prisoner may be innocent.

Explanation:

The Innocence Project is an organization of lawyers that aims to render legal service to those individuals who have been convicted of crimes they haven't committed. It is a social Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) which was founded by Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld in 1992. It aims to prevent false criminal convictions and injustices towards innocent individuals by courts. They advocate against false convictions and demand for an efficient criminal system based on DNA testing.
