The Exoneration Project Presents Fall Quarter Clinics in Action: Executive Clemency and Criminal Justice Reform

11/19

Open to the public

 

Former Illinois Governor Patrick Quinn joins a panel discussion that includes recently-exonerated Tyrone Hood (a client of the Exoneration Project whose sentence was commuted by Governor Quinn), attorney Karl Leonard, an '09 graduate now with Winston and Strawn, and Eva Nagao, Managing Director of the Exoneration Project.  The panel will explore how the exercise of executive clemency is driving criminal justice reform at the state and federal level, and how an increased use of this authority could alter the criminal justice system.  Moderator Tara Thompson of the Exoneration Project will invite audience questions on this topic as well.
