Prosecutors, Power, and Racial Injustice: Part 4
Friday, April 9, 2021 | 4:00 PM EDT - 6:00 PM EDT
After you register for CLE, please use this link to join the webinar: https://go.rutgers.edu/2021prosecutors
This program will explore the role prosecutors and prosecutor offices have played in creating and perpetuating structural inequities in the criminal legal system, ethical obligations of prosecutors, and strategies for implementing anti-racist prosecutorial practices.
This is part 4 of a four-part series that will explore the roles of absolute immunity and plea bargaining in prosecutorial misconduct, community lawyering as a means to anti-racist prosecution, and whether intimate partner violence prosecutors can better support the work of racial justice.
Co-sponsored by Rutgers Center on Criminal Justice, Youth Rights, and Race; Rutgers Criminal and Youth Justice Clinic; Rutgers University Law Review; and Rutgers Institute for Professional Education at Rutgers Law School.
FREE for guests who do not want CLE credit with promo code NOCLE2021
