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.
