The Death Penalty in the Twenty-First Century The Death Penalty in the Twenty-First Century

Bright, Stephen B.
Abstract
The following pages contain excerpts from recent panel discussions held at The American University, Washington College of Law, sponsored by the Criminal Law Society (CLS). The theme of each event was the death penalty in the twenty-first century. As such a passionate and complex issue often does, the death penalty inevitably creates controversy. Through these panel discussions, CLS aimed to create a forum for an intellectual discussion about the facts and the impact of modem death penalty jurisprudence in the United States.
