Please join Lambda, PLAP, ARJ, NLG, and WLA for a conversation with Dee Farmer, the pro se plaintiff whose landmark suit laid the groundwork for incarcerated people to enforce their right to safety in prison. We will discuss prisoners’ rights litigation, litigating from the inside, and the application of the Eighth Amendment to wrongful convictions. Lunch will be served.
