Maureen will be working as an extern with the Federal Public Defender for the Western District of Texas, Capital Habeas Unit. She will assist in providing representation for indigent individuals on death row in Texas who are in the late-stages of their appeals with their death sentences. Maureen’s work will also involve aiding in the filing of federal habeas corpus petitions and applications for clemency.
Maureen thanks the Federal Public Defender for the Western District of Texas for their mentorship, Professor Gouldin and Professor Brown for their support of her public interest path and Marty Feinman L’83 and the Feinman Committee for selecting her.
This tremendous honor will allow Maureen to continue to use her privilege in service of others. All of us here at Syracuse Law Review are proud of Maureen in this amazing accomplishment!
