Panel 2: Post-Conviction Relief [Alabama Chapters Conference]

Panel 2: Post-Conviction Relief: The Proper Roles of State and Federal Courts When state prisoners seek federal habeas corpus relief, they are effectively asking federal courts to review and overturn an otherwise valid and final state court conviction. This practice raises obvious questions about the appropriate balance of power between the federal and state governments. In recent decades, both the U.S. Congress (via AEDPA) and the U.S. Supreme Court (via a series of cases interpreting AEDPA) have imposed several limits on federal courts’ abilities to collaterally attack state convictions and sentences. These changes have sparked new debates, both about the validity of federal habeas review as an original matter and about the (increasingly important) role that state courts play in their own post-conviction proceedings.
