Champions of Justice Awards 2021


In 2021, we hosted a virtual event where we looked at the future of Racial Justice and The Death Penalty, while celebrating Amicus’ Champions of Justice Awards, recognising the amazing work which our supporters and affiliate firms have contributed to.  The discussion focused on Henderson Hill, a leading figure in the defence of civil rights today and senior attorney at American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), in conversation with Robin Maher, internationally renowned death penalty expert and the former Director of The American Bar Association (ABA) Death Penalty Representation Project.
