Kelleher represented the clinic’s client in <em>Petersen v. Blanton, et al.</em>, a Section 1983 case against five correctional officers who broke the client's arm and left him in solitary confinement for two weeks with no medical care. Weathersby argued in the case<em> Jones v. Secretary, Florida Department of Corrections,</em> which is a <em>habeas</em> case that asked whether the clinic’s client "properly filed" his state post-conviction motion for purposes of tolling the deadline on his federal <em>habeas</em> petition. Class of 2018 graduates Jared B. Magnuson and Wheaton Webb wrote the briefs in both cases.</p>application/pdfhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/University of Georgia.
