The Death Penalty Litigation Section provides a forum for mitigation specialists, defense investigators, and defense attorneys who handle capital cases to keep up to date on legal developments and obtain case-related assistance.

Each year the Section sponsors Life in the Balance (LIB), a nationally renowned capital defense-training program that gathers the leading practitioners and experts from across the country. Section members regularly teach at Life in the Balance and other training programs for the death penalty defense community.

A Section e-mail list facilitates the exchange of information and ideas among practitioners from across the country.
