Death Penalty

"We started this blog to think about criminal law issues beyond the scope of our respective caseloads. We hope that by taking the pulse of criminal law news and scholarship (including relevant developments in other fields), we can create a bridge between people in scholarship, policy, and law practice. The posts inevitably reflect our own views, which are largely informed by our experiences representing indigent capital defendants in the South."
