CULS Pro Bono proudly presents a collaboration with Amicus ALJ in a Special USA Guest Event: The Death Penalty in Texas and the USA today - Summary from the "Top Killer State" experts.
Since 1976 Texas unapologetically has executed more people than any other State in the USA. With the death penalty supposedly in decline how does Texas now position itself? What are the current human rights and legal challenges? What is the impact on Texas and the US of the high profile nitrogen suffocation execution and expansion of capital charges beyond murder? How do the political forces impact Texas?
Don't miss this discussion and Q&A with leading experts and practitioners about the state of the State that historically and presently leads the USA in executions, which will be followed by a drinks reception.
Location: Law Faculty, LG19
