Mortimer Eshelman
Pro bono counsel
Volunteers on pardon applications and mentors newer volunteers.
Mortimer retired from private practice and now spends his Saturdays at the clinic. He guides clients through pardon applications, which take patience and a good account of what has changed. He is the one who tells a new volunteer to slow down and listen.

Writing the story down
A pardon application is a letter about a life. Mortimer helps clients put theirs on the page: what happened, what it cost, and what has been built since.
He is upfront that a pardon is never certain, and he stays with clients through the wait.
