New Legal Team: Kirkland & Ellis to Represent Jarvis
Great news! After many months of searching, Jarvis has found a new legal team. Kirkland & Ellis LLP, a leading international law firm, will now be representing Jarvis Jay Masters pro bono in his federal habeas proceedings and other post-conviction proceedings. His legal team includes Michael F. Williams, Erika Y. Williams, Seantyel Hardy, and Professor Lawrence C. Marshall of Stanford Law School, also counsel to the Firm.
Says Mr. Williams, "After decades of litigation in the California state courts, we now have an opportunity to raise in federal courts the serious constitutional issues that deprived Jarvis of a fair trial. Kirkland & Ellis is pleased to have the opportunity to represent Jarvis in his habeas litigation, and we look forward to presenting his claims to a federal judge.” Adds Jarvis, "I am so blessed to have these lawyers who believe in me and are committed to doing whatever it takes to get the truth out."
