Tackling the Crisis of Racialized Mass Incarceration
As a North Carolina attorney, you are all too aware of the gross racial and ethnic disparities characterizing the State’s legal system. But do you have the tools in your toolkit to challenge racialized mass incarceration in your individual cases, in the court system, and in your community? At NCAJ’s annual award-winning seminar on addressing racial bias and racial disparities in the criminal justice system, Program Co-Chairs Emily Coward and James Williams have lined up leading state and national experts who will arm you with the facts, tools, and strategies necessary to advocate for racially just processes and outcomes at critical stages of the criminal process, including drug law enforcement, pretrial release, assessment of costs and fees, and jury selection. This seminar will fill up quickly. Reserve Your Spot and Register Today!
Registration includes seminar materials (in electronic format) and 5.75 CLE hours.
