Please join us on November 5 for "On the Issues: Calvin Duncan, The Jailhouse Lawyer."
The Law School’s Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education, Andrew Center for Restorative Justice, and Public Interest Law Society are pleased to welcome Calvin Duncan to Eckstein Hall. Our guest served 28½ years at the Angola Correctional Facility in Louisiana for a crime he did not commit. With the assistance of the New Orleans Innocence Project and Sister Helen Prejean, he was exonerated of the crime. During his time in prison, he became self-taught in the law, providing assistance to fellow inmates. Since his release, Mr. Duncan has obtained his J.D. from Lewis and Clark University and founded the Light of Justice program to expand access to the courts. This event promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking experience for anyone interested in justice reform or civic engagement.
The program will begin promptly at 12:15 p.m. in Eckstein Hall. Please register here to attend. A light lunch will be available.
