Resuming Federal Executions - July 8, 2020

Tinkering with the Machinery of Death: Resuming Federal Executions

Sponsored by The American Constitution Society

The first federal execution since 2003 is schedule for July 13, 2020, with three additional executions following just days later. U.S. Attorney General William Barr has scheduled these executions despite pending litigation in these cases and serious concerns about the legality, constitutionality, and humaneness of federal execution protocols. Join the American Constitution Society for a discussion of the federal death penalty, the reasons for the nearly twenty-year moratorium on federal executions, and the concerns over this quick succession of executions planned for this summer in the face of continued criticism that the death penalty is arbitrary, racially biased, and plagued by poor, under-resourced lawyering.  Remarks By: Gary Tyler, Former Death Row Inmate, Outreach and Engagement Support Worker, Safe Place for Youth Featuring: Miriam Gohara, Clinical Associate Professor of Law, Yale Law School Megan McCracken, Eighth Amendment Resource Counsel, Lethal Injection Project of the Death Penalty Clinic, U.C.

Trump and Asylum - 1-1/4 units - July 8, 2020

Death by a Thousand Cuts - The Trump Administration’s Proposed Rulemaking to Gut Asylum

Sponsored by The American Constitution Society

Join the ACS Bay Area Lawyer Chapter for a discussion of a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking from the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice that would substantially revise the process for applying for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection from torture under the Convention Against Torture. The proposed Rule would constitute a marked change from longstanding precedent established by courts of appeals across the country and U.S. treaty obligations, and would make substantially more difficult for any refugee to find protection in the United States, and especially so for those arriving at the southern border. Moderated by: Jamie Crook, Director of Litigation, Center for Gender & Refugee Studies, UC Hastings College of the Law; Member, ACS Bay Area Lawyer Chapter Board of Directors Speakers: Blaine Bookey, Legal Director, Center for Gender & Refugee Studies, UC Hastings College of the Law Yael Schacher, Senior U.S. Advocate, Refugees International M.
