Richard Bourke, Senior Fellow
Richard Bourke graduated in law from the University of Melbourne, Australia. He worked as a youth worker, solicitor and then as highly successful criminal defence barrister in Australia before he came to Louisiana, first as a volunteer, and later to work as an attorney full time. As a Reprieve Fellow, Richard works in three Southern states on cases that the state refuses to fund or under-funds. Richard is licensed to practice law in Texas, where he represents death row prisoners seeking to overturn their convictions and sentences. Richard is also permitted to practice law pro hac vice in Louisiana and Mississippi where he represents indigent defendants in their capital trials and seeks to help those on death row with their appeals. Richard consults regularly with other indigent defenders in Louisiana to assist them with their cases and conducts trainings to improve the quality of representation across the state.
