Lauren Sudeall Lucas knew as a student at Harvard Law School that she wanted to do public interest work, but said that “fate” brought her as a summer intern to the Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta. “The work was the most compelling that I had been exposed to, and I envisioned it being something I could do full-time after law school,” Lucas, 33, said. She joined the center as a staff attorney in 2007, representing clients on death row and also taking on civil lawsuits relating to larger issues of access to justice.
In October 2010, Lucas was part of the team that won a ruling from the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals reversing client LaSamuel Gamble’s death sentence on the ground that he had been denied effective assistance of counsel.
