The Sixteenth Capital Mitigation Skills Workshop, which began in 2012, consists of a combination of lectures and interactive exercises designed to develop the basic skills required in the development of mitigation evidence in death penalty cases. Utilizing a case hypothetical, participants will brainstorm about potential mitigation themes and identify “red flags” requiring investigation. Life-history records will also be reviewed to identify these mitigation themes, hypotheses, questions, and investigative follow-up. Interviewing exercises in small groups will cover a variety of areas, including trauma, the signs and symptoms of mental disorders, and cognitive impairments and adaptive deficits. Participants will be asked to interview a variety of different witnesses, including the client and to draft a declaration. The seminar will also emphasize the importance of case organization and provide a sample of a basic mitigation tool kit (including genograms and chronologies).

Interested in a judicial internship for Summer 2026? 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. Texas 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 Prof. Vasu Behara, Director of the Judicial Internship Program.

The conference is an opportunity for law students, lawyers, and activists to build coalitions, share strategies for progressive lawyering, and develop new approaches for the future. Please join us for a brainstorming and planning session! Come with ideas or just to hear others—all that's required is a desire to move the law forward in a progressive manner.
