Professor Amann Speaks on Human Rights and US Supreme Court Ruling
Professor of Law Diane Marie Amann participated on a panel at the Harvard Human Rights Journal's annual conference. The conference, The United States and Human Rights: Bringing Rights Home, held at Harvard Law School on March 8, 2008, brought together noted human rights scholars and activists.
Amann posted a commentary in the new Slate blog, Convictions, on the United States Supreme Court Ruling in Snyder v. Louisiana. Her March 19, 2008, blog commented on the Court's reversal of a defendant's capital conviction for murder of his estranged wife on the grounds that the exclusion of a single potential juror - an African-American student teacher - violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
