Executive Director, Sports Law & Business Program and Distinguished Professor of Practice Editor Introduction The Law Journal for Social Justice’s Symposium, “What’s Next for the Death Penalty?” explored recent developments in death penalty jurisprudence from the perspective of exonerees, defense attorneys, prosecutors, and victim advocates. The symposium opened with keynote speaker Ha’im Sharif, who was exonerated from death row after serving more than twenty-eight years. Next, Larry Hammond moderated a discussion with prosecutors about the decision to seek death in a homicide case. Panelists included Hon. Mike McVey, Deputy Chief of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, and Hon. Ron Reinstein, retired judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court. Afterwards, Timothy Agan of the Arizona Justice Project moderated a conversation between victim advocates Dan Levey and Leslie James about victims’ rights in capital cases. Finally, Professor Paul Bender moderated a discussion between defense attorneys Susan Corey, Garrett Simpson, and Mikel Steinfeld about emerging challenges to the death penalty, including the recent United States Supreme Court opinion Hidalgo v. Arizona. Special thanks to our Symposium Editor, Shannon Brien, for her hard work planning and organizing this marvelous event. Our eleventh volume begins with Beyond Impressionistic Analysis: An Empirical Evaluation of 21st Century Non-lawyer Courts.

As another inmate recounted, “it was like we were left threatened or necessitated emergency evacuations of prisons, to die. No water, no air, no food.”2 As the wealthy and the free as well as the movement of inmates out of prisons to work fed the city, inmates in local prisons—whose impregnable on food protection and rescue. Only by examining both the walls held frm while the once-impregnable levees crumbled— theoretical parallels and the historical convergences between were left locked in their cells. Hurricane Katrina brutally these two systems of control can we uncover their surprisingly illustrated the confict between the apparent order of prisons intimate relationship. Recovered narratives from fooded and the chaos of foods, revealing the diferentiated value of prisons, wherein the uncontrollable met the impenetrable, life placed on incarcerated individuals and troubling notions thus provide a historical nexus for the critical deconstruction of maximum security or absolute protection.
