The Death Penalty Information Center has new Web resources to assist edu­ca­tors and those fol­low­ing recent court devel­op­ments relat­ed to cap­i­tal pun­ish­ment:

1) DPIC’s revised Educational Curriculum on the Death Penalty is an excel­lent tool for TEACHERS plan­ning to involve their stu­dents in the upcom­ing nation­al focus on juve­niles and the death penal­ty. See also DPIC’s Web page on Roper v. Simmons and an overview of the Juvenile Death Penalty.

2) The Supreme Court recent­ly added three death penal­ty cas­es to its dock­et for next term. See a sum­ma­ry of the issues in these cas­es on DPIC’s Supreme Court page.

3) DPIC has pre­pared a sum­ma­ry of the New York Court of Appeals’ deci­sion that held the state’s death penal­ty law uncon­sti­tu­tion­al. See the sum­ma­ry of People v. LaValle.
