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.
