Please join the Rodin Center for Social Justice at Loyola University Chicago's School of Law for a program on police accountability. We will be joined by legal scholars, community organizers, and elected representatives as we explore the role of the U.S. Supreme Court in policing, legislative reform, community activism, and the use of consent decrees. Past and current initiatives to hold police accountable – and visions for a more just future – will be discussed.
