When the Death Penalty Got Personal

Wednesday, March 26, 2025 | 12:30 PM | Eck Hall of Law, McCartan Courtroom Join the Exoneration Justice Clinic and the Klau Institute for Civil and Human Rights for a conversation with Syl Schieber, '72 MA, '74 PhD. Schieber's opposition to the death penalty has been deeply motivated by his Catholic faith and belief in the sanctity of human life. Schieber, who holds a doctor of philosophy in economics from Notre Dame, will recount his personal journey and reflect on the decades of tireless advocacy that he and his wife have championed to abolish the death penalty in the United States.
