Professor Rob Owen will discuss the Capital Punishment Clinic's recent victory in the Supreme Court in Skinner v. Switzer. The Supreme Court held: a postconviction procedural due process claim for DNA testing is properly pursued in a §1983 action. Professor Owen will discuss what this ruling means for his client, Hank Skinner, his reactions to the ruling, and what it means for the future of DNA testing in the courts.

Former UT Law Professor Ernest Young returns to give a talk entitled, "A New Federalism Revival?"

Lunch will be served at the event, which is Monday, 4/4 at 11:30am in room 3.126.
