    This presentation will explore strategies for integrating prison-abolition and structural-reform arguments into post-conviction representation. Many of our students representing criminal defendants on appeal or in post-conviction litigation are motivated by issues related to mass incarceration but find that individual representation does not allow them to challenge the criminal legal system more broadly. Our presentation will provide suggestions for how to effectively advocate for broader change—whether for immediate reforms within the criminal legal system or for more radical abolitionist approaches—even when representing an individual client on appeal.
