Upcoming Seminars
The Federal Capital Trial Project is pleased to invite you to a webinar on October 19, 2026, from 12 pm to 2 pm (EST) on recent changes to the federal death penalty protocols. Capacity is limited to 300 participants, and the session will not be recorded, so we are prioritizing those with active capital cases. Please forward this invitation to any panel members handling capital cases who would benefit from this training.
The registration link is provided below. Participants will receive a confirmation email and Zoom link within 3-5 days of registering. Please note that you must log in to the webinar using the same email address you registered with; otherwise, Zoom will not grant access.
Navigating Recent Changes to DOJ's Capital Crimes Manual, October 19, 2026
In early July 2026, DOJ issued a number of revisions to its Capital Crimes Protocol. These revisions were sweeping and will affect authorization, deauthorization, and plea negotiations. This webinar will describe the changes to the Manual and discuss implications and best practices for teams handling death-eligible or authorized cases.
The webinar is presented by the Federal Capital Trial Project. Featured speakers will include Kelson Bohnet, David Bruck, Bernadette Donovan, and Steve Potolsky. We will take questions through the chat feature.
