Introduction

This discussion took place at the August 1996 annual meeting of the American Bar Association and was organized and moderated by Ronald J. Tabak, Special Counsel with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, and Chair of the Death Penalty Committee of the A.B.A. Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities.
