Bio
Brian Stull has worked for the ACLU Capital Punishment Project since 2006, and currently serves as the Project’s Deputy Director. He has represented clients facing death in trial, appellate, post-conviction, federal habeas and other cases in Alabama, Florida, California, Georgia, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina and Texas, and has long participated in the ACLU’s amicus work. Brian’s work has increasingly focused on litigating and exposing the pernicious role of racism in the administration of the death penalty.
Brian previously worked as a social worker in community mental health. He is an alumnus of New York’s Office of the Appellate Defender, the University of Michigan (B.A. and M.S.W.) and New York University School of Law. Brian takes inspiration from his resilient clients, talented colleagues, and from his N.Y.U. professors Anthony Amsterdam and Bryan Stevenson.
