Roundtable Roundup-Meeting the Challenge of Visual Legal Advocacy
summary
A clemency project uses a student-produced pardon video to humanize a woman with drug convictions before a five-member Pennsylvania Board of Pardons, and the video both changes the record and leaves the client feeling empowered. A university lab funded by a $60,000 grant supplies cameras, dual‑monitor Macs and Final Cut editing, plus trained students and partnerships with PennVideo Network. Practical advice covers SSI, ADA, landlord‑tenant and long‑term disability uses, ethical risks of internet exposure, and pooling funds or pro bono firm resources.
