Andrea Lyon is Professor of Law, DePaul University, and nationally recognized death penalty expert. 
Copies of Angel of Death Row: My Life As a Death Penalty Defense Lawyer will be available for 
purchase, and Ms. Lyon will sign books. A wine reception will precede Ms. Lyon's talk. 
This trail-blazing attorney pioneered unconventional ways to defend clients against society's 
ultimate punishment. Nineteen times, Ms. Lyon has argued to save a convicted murderer's life, 
and 19 times she has succeeded. Come to hear her answer to the perennial question, 
"How can you defend these people?" Angel of Death Row: My Life as a Death Penalty Defense 
Lawyer is the harrowing memoir of the first woman in the United States to head a death 
penalty defense team.
