As New Lawyers, They'll Challenge Death Penalty Photograph : Julia Tarver. Photo Credit: Eileen Barroso. Photograph : Patrick Goodman. Photo Credit: Eileen Barroso. Julia Tarver and Patrick Goodman are two Law students who know exactly what they want to do after they graduate today: eliminate the death penalty in the United States. The pair have already worked on the defense of high profile death penalty cases while students at the Law School; and together, they've logged in nearly 1,600 hours of death penalty pro bono work in the last two years. While their hours are impressive, the pair represent just two examples of the many extraordinary public service efforts of today's law graduates. In 1993, Columbia became the first leading law school to create a mandatory pro bono program, which requires that all students perform a minimum of 40 hours of public service work in order to graduate. Today's graduating class represents the first class to be subject to the requirement. About 60 percent of the students, Tarver and Goodman included, chose to go well beyond the required 40 hours to fulfill their commitment. Goodman, president of the Law School's Capital Punishment Coalition, put in a total of 1,150 hours working for the Louisiana Crisis Assistance Center in New Orleans, under the direction of death penalty defense attorney Clive Stafford Smith, Law '84. One particular case Goodman work on involved the defense of Nick Ingram, a British citizen who was executed in Georgia last year.

"I am inspired and impressed by the courage and commitment of our scholarship winners," said Nadine Strossen, President of the National ACLU. "It is a comfort to know that the next generation of civil libertarians is so promising." The ACLU’s Youth Activist Scholarship Award was created in 2000 to recognize the efforts of graduating high school seniors who have demonstrated a strong commitment to civil liberties. The award, which is given annually, was made possible by a generous grant from an anonymous donor. Scholarship candidates are nominated by their local ACLU affiliates. Each of the ACLU’s 53 affiliates is allowed to nominate one student for the award; the nominations are then presented to the ACLU’s national scholarship selection board, which selects the year’s winners.

OUSD Urban Dreams Lesson Plans Lesson Before Dying ... Extended Literature Home Lesson Plan: A Lesson Before Dying UNIT OVERVIEW Teacher Interview : A Lesson Before Dying Click A Lesson Before Dying "addresses the basic predicament of what it is to be a human being, striving for dignity in a universe that often denies it." Therefore, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Capital Punishment, and the Death Penalty are topics used to enhance the students reading of Ernest Gaines's novel A Lesson Before Dying . The students will grapple with Human Rights issues, the workings of the justice system, and analyze the death penalty cases. The topics for discussion are designed to assist the student's ability to critique a literary work, and draw parables between the death row case of Jefferson (the fictional character) and Abu Qadir Al-Amin (an ex-death row inmate). The listening preparation aided the students with comparing Jefferson's death-row sentencing with Mr. Al-Amin's death-row case. Hence, by comparing the two death row cases, the students were better prepared for developing and posing interview questions for Mr. Al-Amin, the guest speaker. The Listening and Speaking Standards are essential for developing the student's ability to engage in meaningful dialogue.

Albuquerque Journal April 9, 2000, Sunday SECTION: LENGTH: 1168 words HEADLINE: Competition Lets Students Make History BYLINE: Rudi Keller Journal Staff Writer BODY: Local, Global Changes Studied Turning points in history can be local, such as when an Indian tribe wins back land taken by the government. Or history can change globally, such as when someone invents a machine that speeds executions in the name of humane punishment. Middle school and high school students brought those ideas and dozens of others to West Mesa High School on Saturday as they vied for top honors in the New Mexico History Day Contest. Iris Grubbs, Coral Bernal and Amber Martinez from the Taos Day School showed pride in their heritage with their entry. For 68 years, they reported, the Taos Pueblo had pursued the return of Great Blue Lake, sacred to the tribe as a place of meditation and prayer. Bernal's grandfather was among the tribal leaders who finally persuaded Congress and President Richard Nixon to return the lake in 1971. "Now it belongs to Taos Pueblo, and only our people are allowed to go there," Iris said as she explained the trio's display. The contest featured presentations on the Nazi Germany invasion of Russia in 1941, the conversion of a school in Los Alamos to an atomic bomb lab for the Manhattan Project and the purchase of Alaska.

Villaraigosa was seeking to become the city's first Latino mayor in 130 years, in a state where the Latino population is rapidly approaching 50%. The campaign was marked by charges that Hahn appealed to anti-Latino bias by running ads that juxtaposed a cocaine-filled crack pipe against a grainy image of Villaraigosa. Villaraigosa conceded shortly after midnight last night, saying "I love this city." Governor Gray Davis said that Villaraigosa, who built a broad multi-ethnic coalition of labor and community organizations, had "lit a spark that will not be extinguished."

78. Editorial - Capital Punishment For Youth Since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976, there there were 67 juvenilearrests on death row. On December 1, 1997, a high school freshman, Michael http://www.m-a-h.net/inkdroppings/cb-punishment.htm

[home] [read editorials] [read poetry] [about webmistress] ... [contact] Capital Punishment for Youth by Chris B. How can murder be taken seriously, if the penalty isn't equally as serious? A crime, after all, is only as severe as the punishment that follows it. As Edward Koch once said: "It is by exacting the highest penalty for the taking of human life, that we affirm the highest value of human life." Our society needs to reconsider the death penalty as the standard punishment for murder. To deter crime and make the death penalty more effective we should not condone murders that children between 11-17 commit. Executions of juveniles began in 1642 with Thomas Granger, Plymouth Colony, MA. In the 350 years since that time, approximately 346 persons have been executed for juvenile crimes. The current age of juvenile offenders on death row range between nineteen and thirty nine. Since the reinstatement of the death penalty in 1976, there have only been 9 executions of inmates sentenced for juvenile crimes. Statistics obtained for the US Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, maintains that 13 percent of the death row population were under the age of nineteen, at the time of arrest. They also state that 2.2 percent of the population were seventeen or under at the time of arrest. As of December 31, 1997, there were 67 juvenile arrests on death row. Their time there, ranges between two weeks to over 19 years. All 67 were there for murder and their total victim count was 89. These are more than just statistics, these are children who kill.

Vol.59/No.43 November 20, 1995 500 March In Philadelphia To Demand A New Trial For Mumia Abu-Jamal BY JOHN STAGGS AND GLOVA SCOTT PHILADELPHIA - Students and activists from around the country marched in Philadelphia on Monday, November 6, to demand a new trial for Mumia Abu-Jamal. The demonstration marked a growing identification among young people, particularly college students in the Northeast, with the campaign to stop the execution of Abu-Jamal and abolish the death penalty. For many among the 500 protesters, this was their first political demonstration. Abu-Jamal, a broadcast journalist and Black political activist, was convicted of the 1981 killing of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. The judge in that trial, Albert Sabo, was forced to issue a stay of execution on August 7 of this year after a worldwide campaign of pressure to stop Abu-Jamal's killing. Sabo has a reputation as a racist "hanging judge." He has sentenced twice as many people to death as any other judge in the country - 32 inmates, 27 of whom were Black. Despite compelling evidence from witnesses contradicting cop testimony in the earlier trial, Sabo rejected an appeal for a new trial. Abu-Jamal remains on death row as Sabo's decision is being appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
