NC Law Review Symposium on Vulnerable Defendants

On October 10 the North Carolina Law Review is hosting a symposium on Vulnerable Defendants in the Crminial Justice System.  Details are here.

Our panelists and moderators are working at the intersection of these disciplines—criminal law, disability law, critical race theory, juvenile justice, immigration law, and prisoners’ rights, among others. Against the backdrop of a culture of mass incarceration, we will create room for nuanced dialogue regarding the future of the criminal justice system with an emphasis on the vulnerable populations that are drawn into its wake. Our distinguished speakers are: Carrie Basas, Saint Joseph’s College of Maine; Tamar Birckhead, University of North Carolina School of Law; Cheryl Nelson Butler, Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law; Frank Rudy Cooper, Suffolk University Law School; Shani M. King, University of Florida Levin College of Law; Lisa T. McElroy, Drexel University Earle Mack School of Law; Karla McKanders, University of Tennessee College of Law; Katie Rose Guest Pryal, University of North Carolina School of Law; Kathryn Sabbeth, University of North Carolina School of Law; Leticia Saucedo, University of California at Davis School of Law; Brenda V. Smith, American University Washington College of Law; and Nicole Smith Futrell, CUNY School of Law.

I'm looking forward to the discussion.
