Anton Robinson is an Associate Professor of Law at Villanova University School of Law, joining the faculty in 2024 as Director of the Caritas Clemency Clinic. The clinic represents incarcerated individuals seeking compassionate release through litigation, policy reform, and community engagement to dismantle systemic racism and capitalist foundations within the criminal legal system.
Education:
- Juris Doctor, University of Florida Levin College of Law
- Bachelor of Science, Florida State University
Robinson's expertise centers on criminal defense reform, with critical contributions to eyewitness identification standards and facial recognition technology challenges in criminal proceedings. His scholarship bridges indigent defense practice with movement lawyering, focusing on racial disparities in post-conviction relief, restorative justice frameworks, and bail reform initiatives that eliminated money bail for low-level offenses in New York.
As clinic director, he supervises law students in clemency advocacy while advancing strategic litigation that influenced Washington State's State v. Derri (2022) ruling and New Jersey's v. Arteaga facial recognition case. His prior leadership at the Innocence Project and Vera Institute of Justice established him as a key architect of evidence-based policy changes reducing mass incarceration.
The Caritas Clemency Clinic operates as an integrated advocacy-education hub, employing multifaceted approaches to challenge carceral systems through client representation, appellate work, and grassroots community partnerships.
