We are looking forward to celebrating the work of volunteer death penalty lawyers at our 2015 Volunteer Recognition & Awards Event in September! Pro bono firms are recognized each year for their high-quality legal representation of prisoners on death row and honored with our Exceptional Service Awards. A full-time capital defender may also be nominated this year for the Project's John Paul Stevens Guiding Hand of Counsel Award.

- Nomination materials must be received by the Project no later than Friday, May 8, 2015.
