Death Penalty Assistance Center
Washington Death Penalty Assistance Center exists primarily to support
attorneys defending capital cases in Washington. The Center does not
represent individual clients. The Center has a substantial volume of
information on the practicalities of capital defense, briefing on legal
issues, mitigation investigation, expert consultants and witnesses, and will
try to help with the myriad of legal, ethical, and strategic challenges that
may arise for counsel in the course of defending a capital case.
In addition to Center Director, Katie Ross, who has spent a large part of
her thirty years of practice representing clients in death penalty cases,
the Center is able to put counsel in touch with other colleagues who have
experience in all phases of capital litigation for informal discussions and
the airing of ideas.
