In James Ellis' eyes, mentally retarded persons have no place on death rows. In his first argument in any court, Ellis convinced the U.S. Supreme Court that the nation agrees. The decision was the culmination of 30 years of his work on behalf of mentally retarded and mentally ill persons in the civil and criminal justice systems. For those efforts and his landmark victory, Ellis is The National Law Journal's Lawyer of the Year.
