Welcome Back & Justice in Action with Death Penalty Alternatives

Kick off the semester with ACS & GPILSA (Government and Public Interest Law Student Association)! We'll start with a brief introduction to who we are, why to join, and how to get involved before moving into the heart of the event. Together with Death Penalty Alternatives for Arizona and Arizonans for Effective Public Safety, we'll engage in a meaningful conversation on the role of advocacy in shaping fairer systems of justice and how students can make an impact. 

The featured speakers for the event are:

Sam Kooistra, Staff Counsel - Arizona Capital Representation Project
