As practitioners and scholars of the law, the legal community has a critical role in ensuring our criminal legal system is truly just. Join the Minnesota Justice Research Center for an information-packed discussion of:
- the rapidly changing landscape of criminal law and practice in recent years;
- where Minnesotans currently stand on issues of crime and safety;
- the legal implications of Operation Metro Surge;
- and where attorneys are needed in the fight for transformation ahead.
