From Execution Date to Release Date: The Story of Clinton Young

Join us for an eye-opening conversation with Clinton Young, a former Texas death row inmate who spent 18 years in solitary confinement for a crime he insists he didn’t commit. Convicted of two murders at the age of 19, Clinton was sentenced to death in 2003, largely based on the testimony of his co-defendants—testimony that was later proven false.

In September 2021, Clinton’s conviction and death sentence were overturned by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals due to shocking prosecutorial misconduct. The prosecutor, while working on Clinton’s case, was also secretly serving as a law clerk for the judges who presided over the trial. This blatant violation of due process led to Clinton's release on bond in January 2022, making him the first former death row inmate to secure release on bond. He now awaits a new trial.

This event offers an extraordinary opportunity to learn about the flaws in the criminal justice system, wrongful convictions, and the fight for justice. Clinton’s case exemplifies critical legal issues surrounding due process violations, prosecutorial misconduct, and the resilience required to survive on death row.

Don’t miss this powerful session that will provide unique insight into the life of someone wrongfully convicted and highlight the crucial role lawyers play in fighting for justice.

**Food will be provided**

In the fall semester, the Texas Business Law Society hosts an intramural competition for first-year and upper-level students known as the Texas Transactional Skills Competition(TTSC). The competition provides an opportunity for students to draft and negotiate a transactional document, such as a term sheet or an agreement, in a manner that mirrors corporate legal practice. The competition is judged by corporate partners and associates from firms all over the state of Texas. This is an excellent opportunity for students to gain exposure to real practical documents and experience the role of a transactional attorney. Additionally, the TTSC provides students with networking and mentorship opportunities with practicing transactional attorneys.

The 2024 competition will be held Saturday, October 5th. During the competition, participants compete against their peers over two rounds of negotiation. The goal is to reach a deal by demonstrating your negotiation skills and articulating your client’s needs. TBLS will host a reception for the judges and participants following the competition. This year, we are excited to host the competition in-person!

This speaker series considers the criminalization of reproduction—historical and contemporary, local and global—largely through the lens of reproductive justice.

RSVP

Abstract: Over the past four years, three of the largest Latin American countries have made significant strides toward the decriminalization of abortion: Argentina in December 2020, Colombia in February 2022, and Mexico in September 2023. The changes are the result of strategic rights-based litigation, cultural work, and national and regional coalition building, largely on the part of feminists who came of age in the 1990s and 2000s. These feminists had long worked for incremental change, using the Courts as allies for reform. Contrasting their strategies with those deployed today by younger feminists in the region, who not only are more inclined to use social networks and direct action but are also more focused on issues of violence and individual harm, I argue for the need to bridge gaps between old and new feminisms to continue to work toward reproductive justice.

Isabel Cristina Jaramillo Sierra is Professor of Law and Director of the Jurisprudence Department at Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia. She also acts as general coordinator of the Latin American Network of Feminist Legal Scholars- RED ALAS (www.redalas.net). She has written extensively on feminist legal reform and its impact on women, with particular attention to reforms related to quotas, abortion, and violence. Relevant works in English include “The New Colombian Law on Abortion" in International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics (2022) and "Abortion Reform in Colombia: From Total Prohibition to Decriminalization up to Week Twenty-Four" in The South Atlantic Quarterly (2023). She has worked as a consultant for the National Government and the Judicial Branch on gender and human rights issues; served as an expert before the Congress of the Republic; and worked as an Ad Hoc Judge for the Constitutional Court and the State Council. In 2017, she was nominated (but not elected) by President Juan Manuel Santos to the Constitutional Court. She earned her S.J.D. from Harvard Law School and an LL.B. with Honors from Universidad de los Andes.

This speaker series considers the criminalization of reproduction—historical and contemporary, local and global—largely through the lens of reproductive justice.

RSVP

Abstract: President Trump’s harsh, exclusionary anti-immigrant policies were bolstered by rhetoric that demonized migrant pregnancy and motherhood. including tropes like “birth tourism,” “anchor baby,” “chain migration,” and “public charge.” The Obama and Biden administrations, in contrast, enacted and publicized policies excepting pregnant women from otherwise intensive immigration enforcement regimes, projecting an image of humanitarian concern. This paper uses critical feminist ethnography to study the impact of pregnancy-related immigration policies on the lived experiences of pregnant migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border from 2017-2022. It documents the impacts of a shifting landscape of exclusion, expulsion, deportation, detention, and release during an era of rapid migration policy change. The findings are clear: under every policy regime, pregnant women are negatively impacted. During periods characterized by increased detention, detention conditions are poor. During periods characterized by exclusion and expulsion, pregnant women are forced to wait in dangerous, precarious conditions in Northern Mexico, increasing the likelihood that they will attempt a perilous desert crossing into the United States. And during periods characterized by a greater chance of receiving humanitarian parole due to pregnancy, parole is seldom granted to partners and family members, making family separation inseparable from a supposedly humanitarian exception.

Amanda Heffernan is a nurse midwife and Assistant Professor at Seattle University College of Nursing, where she is also Clinical Placement Coordinator for the Midwifery Program. In addition, she is a Seattle University PACE (Partnership for Advancing Community Engagement) Fellow and a faculty fellow at the Seattle University Institute for Catholic Thought and Culture. Her research interests sit at the intersection of migration and reproductive justice, including the impact of detention on families and the experiences of pregnant migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. She is author of “Pregnancy in United States Immigration Detention: The Gendered Necropolitics of Reproductive Oppression” in International Feminist Journal of Politics. She received a Ph.D. in Nursing from the University of New Mexico, an MSN in Nurse-Midwifery from Frontier Nursing University, a B.S. in Nursing from the University of Washington, and a B.A. in History from Whitman College.

Interested in a judicial internship for Spring 2025? Get an insider's look from your classmates who have been through it. Judicial internships are rare and coveted opportunities: they offer hands-on experience in some of the most demanding, dynamic, and exciting legal environments. They’re also one of the few ways to get “behind the scenes” of the judicial decision-making process while you’re still in law school. UT Law is at the center of judicial excellence in the country, and there are numerous opportunities at both the state and federal levels (trial and appellate), covering a variety of complex legal issues. You’ll learn how to find a good fit and apply, and how to parlay your coursework into a one-of-a-kind experiential learning opportunity. We’ll also discuss the course component of the internship, which focuses on enhancing your experience with legal writing, confidentiality and ethics, professionalism, and judicial decision-making.

Moderated by Judge Vasu Behara, Director of the Judicial Internship Program.

Note for 1Ls: Be on the lookout early in the spring term for our program focusing on summer judicial internships.
