Jernigan argues before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit
Abstract
Appellate Litigation Clinic participant and rising third-year student Roby A. Jernigan argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit in Jordan v. State of Georgia. The clinic's client was stabbed 11 times by his cellmate while two officers watched from outside his door. The question raised was whether the officers violated Jordan’s Eighth Amendment rights by failing to prevent the attack and by failing to intervene once it started. 2022 graduates Tinsley J. Stokes and Mark L. Bailey helped write the briefs.
