Join the Notre Dame Law School Exoneration Justice Clinic and the Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights on March 19 for a special fireside book talk event with Ben Spencer and Barbara Bradley Hagerty, author of Bringing Ben Home, as they discuss this powerful story and the ongoing fight for justice.

Bringing Ben Home: A Murder, a Conviction, and the Fight to Redeem American Justice chronicles the wrongful conviction of Ben Spencer, a Black man who spent thirty years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. The book also explores how states are working to reform legal systems and implement new efforts to reduce wrongful convictions. It highlights Spencer's battle for justice and the broader push for reform in the criminal justice system.

Books will be availble for purchase after the talk.

The entire Notre Dame community and the public are welcome to attend.

The event is sponsored by Notre Dame Law School and the Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights and is co-sponsored by the Black Law Students Association, the Notre Dame chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Notre Dame Exoneration Project, and the Death Penalty Abolition Society.
