Updated in 2023! In 2017, the Cornell Center on the Death Penalty Worldwide, directed by Professor Sandra Babcock, published the second edition of a unique manual: a best practices manual for lawyers representing individuals facing the death penalty. Written in English by an international group of lawyers, the manual is intended to provide practical and detailed advice for lawyers around the world who take on the heavy responsibility of these cases, for which they often lack specialized training. Since the launch of the first edition in 2012, the manual has been translated into French, Mandarin, Arabic and Swahili. The Manual provides key domestic and international legal safeguards and limitations at each stage of the criminal justice process, while highlighting best practice examples and strategies from comparable jurisdictions. This edition has been adapted and completed by author Zainab Malik, under the supervision of ECPM (Together Against the Death Penalty) to serve as a resource for lawyers, activists and civil society professionals working to represent individuals facing the death penalty in Indonesia.
