Chapter I: Introduction -- Chapter II: Death Penalty Public Defense: Backgrounds and Legal Careers -- Chapter III: The Moral Cause Against State Oppression -- Chapter IV: Empathy and Compassion for the Defendant -- Chapter V: Death Penalty Trial Strategies -- Chapter VI: Emotional and Physical Consequences of Death Penalty Trial Work -- Chapter VII: Politics of Death Penalty -- Chapter VII: A Profession in Disrepute: Defending the Most Violent People.

This book examines the lived experienes of death penalty defense lawyers and how they created a legal culture of resistance to the death penalty. It argues that an important social component of death penalty abolition in the state of Colorado was due to the efforts of capital defense attorneys. Specifically, it explores how the death penalty defense lawyers created and embraced a legal culture of resistance which compelled the attorneys to fight tenaciously in order to win life sentences for clients that had committed brutal homicides. A legal culture of resistance does not exist in a vacuum. Thwarting Death traces the lived experience of 15 death penalty defense lawyers from when they were kids all the way up through retirement to explain how a legal culture of resistance forms and lawyers operate within it after being established which in turn can have a massive influence on public policy outside of a courtroom; such as creating a social and political environment conducive to abolishing the death penalty. Matt Greife is an assistant teaching professor at Marquette University, USA, with the Department of Social and Cultural Studies where he teaches courses on law and society, environmental crime law and justice, punishment and corrections and legal culture. Prior to entering academia, Matt worked as a criminal defense and Plaintiff's civil rights attorney litigating cases in federal and state courts. Matt's last position was as the director of civil rights litigation with Baumgartner Law LLC where he successfully litigated numerous claims including violations of the 1st, 4th, 8th and 14th amendments against various governmental agencies.
