REGISTRATION WILL OPEN IN MID MAY
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This nationally recognized program, the only one of its kind, focuses on representation in capital post-conviction and habeas cases in toto. Among other topics, experienced capital habeas litigators will address the impact of recent Supreme Court decisions (and cases currently pending in the Court) on capital post-conviction and clemency practice, as well as sessions addressing new developments and trends in the federal courts of appeal and other state and federal courts. There will also be sessions on emerging trends in capital cases where intellectual disability, competency, or other aspects of a client’s mental health or cognitive abilities are at issue. The program will also address new legislative initiatives and administrative actions that may affect capital habeas representation. There will also be a track for those new to capital post-conviction practice. Individual case consultations will also be available, upon request, to persons attending the seminar.
