This year's WCADP conference will be on October 27th at Seattle University Law School, Room 109.
Doors will open at 9:00AM (with beverages and a small selection of breakfast items). Conference will run from 9:30AM to 11:30AM. This year's focus will be on constitutional challenges to the methods of execution--focusing on hanging and lethal injection, the two methods used in Washington.
Our faculty features Todd Maybrown, an experienced capital defense attorney who has undertaken an extensive investigation into our state's methods of execution. This subject is particularly timely given the United States Supreme Court's recent decision to decide teh legality of lethal injection.
In addition, we will have an opportunity to disscuss ways that we can mobilize to prevent another killing in our name.
The annual meeting will follow the conference. All our invited to attend--we'll be electing officers and selecting members of the steering committee.
