post conviction relief

Post-conviction relief is another specialized area of law. Similar to appeals, post-conviction relief is handled after a conviction and sentence has been imposed (and usually after a direct appeal has been exhausted).

Typically, a motion for post-conviction relief alleges either that trial counsel was ineffective or that newly discovered evidence has come to light. Post-conviction relief also usually results in appeals, making it a very lengthy and costly process.
