Emily Olson-Gault is an American law professor, at Georgetown University, and a director of the American Bar Association’s Death Penalty Defense Project.

The American Bar Association authorized funding for Olson-Gault and Misty Thomas to compile resources to support those filing appeals of death penalty cases.

In 2018 Texas was considering "streamlining" the processing of appeals of death penalty cases. Olson-Gault was called upon to offer her expertise by those who opposed this measure. She also addressed the Nebraska legislature's Judicial Committee, where she defended the importance of post conviction appeals in death penalty cases.
