Caroline Meyer, Reprieve Fellow 2005 - 6

Caroline Meyer graduated from law school in Toronto, Canada, and worked for one year as a Reprieve fellow in Harris County Texas, at the Gulf Region Advocacy Center (GRACE). Caroline used her Reprieve Fellowship to resolve breakdowns in relationships between clients and their attorneys at the pre-trial stage in Harris County, which can often result in the lawyer failing to obtain the information needed to mount a defence, or in a client refusing a plea offer that would save his life. Caroline also worked to build a partnership between GRACE and the historically black Thurgood Marshall School of Law, as well as other local schools, to bring students from racial minorities into the capital defence community.
