Two new courses of interest for RJ and JD students alike were approved this week by the Curriculum Committee. Race, Crime, and Restorative Justice will look at how issues of racial injustice have plagued the criminal justice system and explore how restorative justice might address some of these inequalities. Pleas, Sentencing, and Accountability will look closely at the plea bargaining and sentencing process and also have an experiential component where students prepare background reports on people awaiting sentencing to aid trial judges in reaching a fair determination. Stay tuned for details on when we will offer these two new exciting and important courses.
