Prosecutors, Power, and Racial Justice: Building an Anti-Racist Prosecutorial System
The Rutgers University Law Review, in collaboration with the Rutgers Center on Criminal Justice, Youth Rights, and Race led by Laura Cohen invites you to join its annual symposium titled Prosecutors, Power, and Racial Justice: Building an Anti-Racist Prosecutorial System. The symposium will be a 4-part series discussing the power of prosecutors to perpetuate or upend the status quo of racial injustice in our criminal and juvenile legal systems. As Defenders, this symposium offers the opportunity to see how the "other side" works and hopefully make take steps toward our work in promoting an anti-racist and fair criminal justice system.
Esteemed Professors Irene Joe, Fareed Hayat, Kristin Nicole Henning, and former prosecutor Adewale Oduye will discuss their perspectives on methods for regulating mass prosecution, how progressive prosecution can be reconciled with gang prosecutions, and how racial bias distorts prosecution in juvenile courts.
