Kristi Couvillon
2005
Texas Defender Service
Couvillon, a lawyer and social worker, will conduct a multifaceted effort to implement the American Bar Association Guidelines regarding defense representation in death penalty cases in Texas and the surrounding states. These guidelines represent a consensus regarding the minimum defense effort required in every stage of a capital case, including jurisdictional obligations and counsel performance, to ensure the delivery of high quality legal representation to all. The goals of the project are to improve the quality and availability of competent legal representation for indigent defendants through grassroots efforts, direct casework, coalition building, and communications strategies.
