Justice or Avoiding Justice?

"How Courts Treat Cases Involving Life and Liberty" is an opportunity to meet, listen to and talk with Stephen B. Bright, president and senior counsel of the Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta. On March 25 he'll be at Northern Kentucky University Chase School of Law to talk about what his law firm does and what many local lawyers are trying to do: fix a broken system.

The work of the Center includes representing prisoners in challenges to unconstitutional conditions and practices in prisons and jails. They also challenge systematic failures in the legal representation of indigent clients and represent people facing the death penalty who wouldn’t have any representation.

Can't make the talk? Check out film about the work of Bright and the Center in Fighting for Life in the Death Belt or read either of the two books written on the same topic: Finding Life on Death Row by Kayta Lezin and Proximity to Death by William McFeely.

The event is free, but it’s a good idea to reserve a seat.

Location: Nunn Hall, Room 426 (Chase School of Law), Northern Kentucky University
