Journal
The Amicus Journal is a leading reporter on the significant issues affecting

concerning the death penalty and related topics. The Journal includes
articles written by academics and practitioners on current legal issues
and on the death penalty from the perspective of disciplines other than
law. It also features news from around the world, case reports, book reviews,
and front line reportage from interns working in capital defence offices.
