Tiny bit of good news. Whether it actually makes a difference to offset philosophical, partisan, and institutional trends against addressing the needs of poor people during mass incarceration will require future study.
SCOOP: Judiciary OKs new Supreme Court defender office to help represent indigent defendants at #SCOTUS. Its full-time director will serve as counterweight to the U.S. solicitor general in federal criminal cases. The first will be former Kagan clerk and SG atty Ashley Robertson.

District Attorney Joe Briley put some 40 people on Georgia's death row. Steve Bright and @southerncenter showed how Briley exploited the unequal justice system to do so, manufacturing all-white juries and defeating overmatched court-appointed lawyers. @DTheImpossible

Good to see some colleagues and listen to Justice Sotomayor for a bit.
On Friday, 10/24, BU Law had the honor of hosting United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor as speaker of the Annual Shapiro Lecture. Justice Sotomayor was joined by her former law clerk, Cesar Lopez-Morales (’14). Read more from BU Today ⬇️ spr.ly/601178wNb

Everyone who cares about the Constitution should do everything in their power to stop executions by nitrogen hypoxia. Anthony Boyd, the 8th person killed by Alabama using this method, gasped for air 225 times on the gurney before he died. #deathpenalty bit.ly/49eVDLK

Just over an hour after 3 Supreme Court justices warned that Alabamian Anthony Boyd would suffer psychological torture, he was subjected to the longest nitrogen gas execution in US history, gasping for air more than 225 times. Read my eyewitness account: treadbylee.com/p/after-justic…
