Special Guests:
Christine A. Koehler is considered one of Georgia's premier criminal defense attorneys. She is an aggressive trial lawyer committed to vigorously defending adults and juveniles accused of crimes. Christine's courtroom success makes her a sought after instructor at Georgia's leading trial skills programs and she is a frequent lecturer at criminal defense seminars nationwide. She is on the Investigative Panel of the State Bar of Georgia and is a founding member of the Georgia Innocence Project. Christine's unyielding dedication to her clients led to the three month halt of jury trials in Gwinnett County, Georgia, after she successfully challenged Gwinnett's jury system.
Dr. Kathy Wayland's primary area of research and clinical expertise is in traumatic stress syndromes and the psychological consequences of chronic exposure to interpersonal violence. From 1993-2002, Kathy was on the staff of the California Appellate Project (CAP) where she helped staff and private counsel identify mental health issues and mitigation themes in post-conviction death penalty cases, and conducted extensive trainings on mental health issues. Since 2002, Kathy has been on the staff of the Habeas Corpus Resource Center in San Francisco, where she develops resources and training to assist staff attorneys and the private bar in their representation of death row inmates in state and federal courts.
