The Atlantic Center for Capital Representation was founded in 2010, in Philadelphia.  The Center provides advice and counsel in death penalty cases around the country, as well as in federal death cases, and represents the Government of Mexico in death penalty cases involving Mexican nationals here in the United States.

Marc and Pat are long-time members of the Philadelphia criminal defense bar, and have, themselves, litigated numerous death penalty cases.  Marc is also the author of the recently published book by The New Press, called a Descending Spiral: Exposing the Death Penalty in 12 Essays.  Marc has also published in The Atlantic, and Slate, among other publications.
