The Friedman Law Research Instruction Room is dedicated to Darrel F. Parker, a client of the firm. In 2011, Herb and his son Daniel Friedman filed a claim under the Nebraska Wrongful Conviction and Imprisonment Act on behalf of Parker. The next year, the State of Nebraska issued a declaration of innocence to Parker, and the state attorney general publicly declared that Parker had been wrongly convicted. More than 50 years after being convicted for a murder he did not commit, Parker was pardoned, and the state agreed to pay him the maximum allowed under the law.
