The Summer 2004 DePaul Law Review contains presentations and articles from the University’s two-day “Race to Execution” Symposium, an event that featured remarks and presentations from some of the nation’s most renowned death penalty experts. This law review examines the role that race has historically had and continues to play in our nation’s death penalty debate. Among the articles are presentations examining the racial bias in capital sentencing, how implicit racial attitudes of capital litigators impact trials, race and the federal death penalty, and the politics associated with this problem. Former Illinois Governor George Ryan, human rights attorney Bryan Stevenson, researcher David Baldus, and federal death penalty attorney Kevin McNally are among those featured in the compilation.
