Flyer with a photo of Calvin Duncan and Sophie Cull inviting participants to a conversation about the book the Jailhouse Lawyer with date, time and registration QR code

Join co-authors Calvin Duncan and Sophie Cull in a conversation about The Jailhouse Lawyer. The memoir is a searing and ultimately hopeful account of Calvin Duncan, described as “the most extraordinary jailhouse lawyer of our time” and his thirty-year path through Angola after a wrongful murder conviction, his coming-of-age as a legal mind while imprisoned, and his continued advocacy for those on the inside.

Lunch provided on a first-come, first-serve basis to those who RSVP and stay for the entire program.

This event is co-sponsored by the Goldman School of Public Policy.
