Death Penalty Clinic

Three Death Penalty Clinic students standing in front of building

 

Founded in 2001, the clinic seeks justice for individuals facing the death penalty by providing them with high-quality representation; offers students a rich opportunity for meaningful hands-on experience in high-stakes, complex litigation; and exposes problems endemic to the administration of capital punishment.

Clinic releases a new report, “Guess Who’s Coming to Jury Duty?:
How the Failure to Collect Juror Demographic Data Contributes to Whitewashing the Jury Box.”
