Dear Friends,

On April 17, 2026, we will be hosting an important in-person legal training in partnership with the University of Texas School of Law: From Voir Dire to Sentencing: Constructing the Capital Defense Narrative. This program will bring together attorneys and advocates to focus on strengthening representation in death penalty cases.
