ABA SECTION OF CIVIL RIGHTS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE SPEAKERS including: - Ben Crump President and Founder, Ben Crump Law as the criminal justice system comes under increased scrutiny, so too does each profession that has operated within and supported a system that has evolved into a catalyst for infringement on human rights, abuse of civil rights, and an escalation of social unrest and civil disobedience. Is the criminal justice system doing exactly what it was designed to do, or has it morphed into something very different? This webinar explores the role that state legislators, police, courts, corrections, and the juvenile justice system have played in our current system. It delves into the seemingly impenetrable barriers to criminal justice reform, as well as steps toward progress that have been made. We also examine whether there is a moral responsibility to assert our respective positions in active pursuit of requisite changes.
