Alternative Approaches to Criminal Law: Untold Stories with Calvin Duncan

Les groupes étudiants Droit Criminel McGill et Projet Innocence McGill ont le plaisir de vous inviter à une discussion avec Calvin Duncan.

Calvin Duncan spent 28.5 years in a Louisiana prison for a crime he did not commit. He will be sharing his story and thoughts about the criminal justice system in Louisiana.

While in prison, Duncan worked as inmate legal counsel for twenty-three years. Shortly after he was released, he was hired as a paralegal with the Louisiana Capital Appeals Project. In 2012, Duncan was awarded the Soros Justice Fellowship to vindicate the post-conviction rights of incarcerated people by increasing their access to the courts, and by raising awareness around the inequities in the post-conviction process. In 2014, Duncan co-founded The First 72+, a transitional home and re-entry program started by and for people returning home from prison. 

Monsieur Duncan fera sa présentation par le biais d'un appel vidéeo sur Skype.
