It is meant primarily to be an academic discussion list, although all subscribers are encouraged to participate regardless of their backgrounds. There are many other forums on the net devoted just to that. It is in fact the lackof critical discussion of those issues on those groups which in part prompted the creation of this list. The list will offer a forum for scholarly and professional discussion of issues related to the administration of capital punishment. The specific focus will be upon the administration of capital punishment in the US and on developments in the US Supreme Court's Eighth Amendment jurisprudence.
