Allen Hopper, Board Member

Allen Hopper is an attorney whose practice since graduating from the King Hall School of Law at the University of California, Davis in 1992 has focused upon civil rights & liberties and criminal defense law. He is currently a Senior Staff Attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union's Drug Law Reform Project located in Santa Cruz, California. Immediately prior to joining the ACLU, Allen did death penalty defense work with the California Appellate Project, a San Francisco-based nonprofit law firm established by the State Bar of California at the request of the Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court.

Allen is also a graduate of New College in Sarasota, Florida, where he studied political science and philosophy and served on the Board of Directors of Save the Greenspace, a nonprofit student, alumni/ae, and faculty group founded to advocate for the campus community in local development issues impacting New College.

Especially after the horrific destruction of irreplaceable icons of our shared heritage in Mesopotamia a few years ago, Allen is committed to the preservation of important historical art and artifacts, and to raising the awareness and appreciation of them among a broader audience for our collective education, edification, and protection. Allen is excited to be a part of CHI's work applying the cutting-edge technology of the present and future to preserve the cultural treasures of the past.
