Maher will also describe his work as Executive Director of Indigent Defense Services. Brandon Garrett (Duke Law) will moderate. Lunch will be provided. Sponsored by the Duke Center for Science and Justice, Criminal Law Society, and Innocence Project. For more information, please contact Juliet Park at juliet.park@duke.edu.
