Webinar Discusses Death Penalty in Florida, Oct. 15

In collaboration with Barry University and various other sponsors, the Shepard Broad College of Law, will be hosting a webinar themed: The Death Penalty in Florida: The Case Against Death. Join on Friday, October 15, at 9 a.m. on Zoom to listen to keynote speaker Sister Helen Prejean, founder of the Ministry Against the Death Penalty discuss the important topics on this matter, along with various other guest speakers.

This one-day, virtual event puts the practice of state executions on trial. Expert witnesses will make the case against this 4,000-year-old “ultimate retribution.” “The Case Against Death” will feature nationally recognized advocates and scholars as well as those who have lived through the experience of being innocent but on “death row.” This seminar will address the legal challenges, the equity issues, as well as the social, moral, and financial costs. If you think you know where you stand on the death penalty, you won’t want to miss this.
All welcome to attend. For more information on this event, visit the Shepard Broad College of Law Alumni page.
