Steps Towards Justice

In the unique and challenging field of capital defense, our dual role encompasses fighting for our clients' lives while also facing the reality that death—whether due to natural causes, illness, or state action—may be an outcome. This complex reality raises profound questions that require examination. Join us as we delve into a community discussion designed to provide a supportive space for capital defense teams to discuss strategies and questions including the following: How do we prepare for a client's death?  How can we help our clients,  teams, and importantly, ourselves prepare for the inevitable while holding onto and working for life?  What do you need to know to help live in this dichotomy? What skills are you searching for?
