Congressman Lacy Clay and renowned defense attorney Barry Scheck (known best as the DNA guy from O.J. Simpson's "dream team") will be on the campus of Washington University tomorrow addressing some of the issues surrounding innocent men and women being wrongly convicted in U.S. courts. Labels: Announcements
Clay is scheduled to give the morning keynote speech (9:00 a.m.) at the Sixth Annual Access to Equal Justice Conference, which starts tomorrow at the Wash U. School of Law.
The school's Clinical Education Program and Center for Interdisciplinary Studies, along with the St. Louis University School of Law, will present "Convicted, Executed, But Not Guilty? Examining the Risks of Wrongful Executions and the Role of Prosecutors, Defense Attorneys, Academia and the Press," from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in Anheuser-Busch Hall.
The conference is free and open to faculty, students, staff, and the public, but organizers say attendees must have registered by Monday to receive materials and attend the lunch. Click here for more info.
