The Death Penalty Clinic is counsel or co-counsel for individuals who are facing the death penalty at trial, on appeal, or in post-conviction proceedings. The Death Penalty 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. Students enrolled in the clinic are required to take the companion two-unit Death Penalty Clinic Seminar. The clinic is a year-long program.
Students are supervised by Professor Elisabeth Semel, Director of the Death Penalty Clinic; Professor Ty Alper, the clinic's Associate Director; and Mridula Raman, the Clinical Supervising Attorney. Faculty bios are available on the law school's faculty profiles page and the Death Penalty Clinic's webpage.
