STARRING: Shon Hopwood!

Shon Hopwood’s unusual legal journey began not at law

school, but federal prison, where he learned to write briefs for other prisoners while serving a 12-year sentence for bank robberies. Two petitions for certiorari he prepared were later granted review by the United States Supreme Court, and he won cases for other prisoners in federal courts across the country. Since he became a licensed attorney, Shon’s record of success has continued. In 2016 alone, he won three federal habeas appeals before the Fourth and Eighth Circuit Courts of Appeals.

Shon is currently a tenure track professor of Law at George-town University Law School. He is an expert on federal courts, criminal procedure (including federal sentencing), and prisoners’ rights. He is a founding partner at Prison-Professors.com and he works to create content that will improve outcomes of our nation’s criminal justice system.

His amazing story about success after prison has been featured on 60 Minutes, in the New York Times, Washington Post, The New Yorker, NPR, and the Seattle Times. Shon co-wrote his memoir entitled Law Man: My Story of Robbing Banks, Winning Supreme Cases and Finding Redemption. Shon is also an advocate for criminal justice reform and his scholarship on courts and the criminal justice system has been published in the Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties, Fordham, and Washington law reviews, the Georgetown Law Journal’s Annual Review of Criminal Procedure, and the American Criminal Law Review.
