American Bar Association Rolls Out New Clemency Information Website


An attorney with his own private practice, Anastacio Mindiola possesses more than 15 years of experience in law. Mr. Mindiola helps clients in personal injury cases and civil cases against insurance companies. In addition to his work with clients, Anastacio “Trae” Mindiola stays active in his field through membership in the American Bar Association (ABA).

In late March of 2018, the ABA Capital Clemency Resource Initiative (CCRI) rolled out a new website aimed at raising awareness and educating the public on the ways clemency is handled in death penalty cases. The website also contains information for attorneys and other individuals who have a stake in clemency decisions. 

The move comes as ABA research finds that public knowledge and access to information about clemency is fundamentally lacking. The website has a searchable database and contains state-specific information, court decisions, and scholarly journal articles. To learn more, visit www.capitalclemency.org.
