Burns Moot Courtroom. A riveting discussion with the authors of the award-winning book, “The Jailhouse Lawyer.” Winner of the ABA’s 2026 Silver Gavel Award. John Grisham described the book as “so incredible it strains belief.” Come learn more about Calvin’s 28-year struggle to secure his release from prison for a crime he did not commit, and his recent victory in being elected Orleans Parish Clerk of Court, only for his political adversaries to successfully legislate him out of office.
