The Clarence Darrow Death Penalty Defense College

"I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men. When we can learn by reason and judgment and an understanding and faith that all life is worth saving, and that mercy is the highest attribute of man."
- Clarence Darrow, 1924

The greatest challenge a defense lawyer can face is representing someone who is facing the death penalty.

The Clarence Darrow Death Penalty Defense College teaches the skills, knowledge and insights needed to face this challenge. Instruction includes lectures, demonstrations and, most importantly, small group workshops where participants work on their actual cases.

The faculty are outstanding capital defense attorneys and experts from all over the country. Former participants have found the college to be invaluable.
