Columbus Metropolitan Club - 7-29-2020 - Racism - Where Do We Go From Here? Judicial Reform

A post on the The American Bar Association website dated January 29, 2020 by Andrea Kupfer Schneider and Cynthia Alkon, states, "As a nation, we pour tremendous resources into our criminal justice system, from the cost of policing to courts, lawyers, probation and parole officers, and prisons. Some states are spending more incarcerating their citizens than educating them. In the face of this kind of public spending and the serious impacts on so many communities, we could use more idealism. We could use people who think, no matter how corny (or overwhelming or impossible) it might sound, that we can make this world a better place." In light of the recent protests, CMC's panel will discuss what is being done, and what could be done in the movement for Judicial Reform.

Featuring Diane Menashe, Partner and Director of Litigation Training & Pro Bono Activities, Ice Miller, LLP and Laurel Beatty Blunt, Judge, 10th District Court of Appeals, State of Ohio with host Carter Stewart, Managing Director, Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation, former presidentially- appointed U.S. Attorney, Southern District of Ohio.
