INVITATION

Latham’s Pro Bono Program: A Cornerstone of Our Culture

Cory Maples Case

Thursday, October 15, 2020 | 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. Eastern | Zoom Webinar

Hear from Elana Nightingale Dawson, an associate in Latham’s Connectivity, Privacy, and Information Practice, as she shares her experience representing Cory Maples pro bono. Mr. Maples is a prisoner on death row at Holman Correctional Facility in Alabama. In 2012, Latham won a reversal before the Supreme Court of an Eleventh Circuit decision denying Mr. Maples relief despite a mailroom mix-up caused by his prior lawyers that left him unable to further pursue his claims. After another win before the Eleventh Circuit, Latham—with a team led by Elana—represented Mr. Maples during a week-long evidentiary hearing aimed at showing that Mr. Maples received ineffective assistance of counsel during the penalty stage of his capital trial. Tune in to hear the details of the case, and why the presiding judge has deemed it as “one of the hardest cases she has ever faced”.

To RSVP, please complete this registration form by Wednesday, October 14. https://surveyext.lw.com/Survey.aspx?s=978d42b0d4e647ae881350cf7f7d60df

Please note, this webinar is open to students only.

Join TJOGEL and attorneys from Haynes and Boone for an hour of conversation regarding a multitude of topics, from the firm's position in the energy industry to how to be a great summer associate. This is a great networking opportunity, and it provides a chance to ask questions of practicing attorneys in an informal setting. Although these luncheons are primarily for 1Ls who want exposure to the industry, I encourage everyone to attend.

*Must be a member of the TJOGEL society to attend this event.

In lieu of our usual Bar Review, SBA will be hosting a weekly Ex Parke this semester on Thursday evenings! This is a great opportunity to meet students from other 1L sections as well as other class years. Each week we will visit a park for an outdoor, socially-distanced hangout. There will be blankets spread out so students can meet up in groups of no more than 10. We kindly ask that you arrive close to the assigned time for your class ye

Join the Texas Federalist Society as we host a discussion about the role that criminal law, enforcement, and punishment should occupy in American life. Panelists Marc Levin (Chief of Policy and Innovation for the Right on Crime initiative at the Texas Public Policy Foundation), Josh Hammer (Opinion Editor, Newsweek, and of counsel at First Liberty Institute), and moderator Lee Kovarsky (Bryant Smith Chair in Law and Co-Director, Capital Punishment Center at UT Law) as they tackle issues around the proper scope of the criminal code, the types of conduct that should result in arrest, and solutions for overcriminalization consistent with public safety.

The first 50 Texas Law students to register will receive a $10 redemption code for DoorDash to enjoy a meal during the event.
