Latham & Watkins Forum at NYU School of Law
Wednesday, November 8, 2017
Greenberg Lounge, Vanderbilt Hall

Local elections over the past few years have ushered in a new generation of elected prosecutors committed to changing their office culture, enhancing accountability, and promoting a less
punitive and more prevention-oriented approach to addressing crime. What does it mean to be a prosecutor who embraces this new criminal justice thinking? How does a prosecutor who seeks to change entrenched practices go about doing so, and what challenges do they face?

This program brought together two reform-minded criminal-justice practitioners as well as the head of Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP), a national organization dedicated to changing the field of prosecution and supporting elected prosecutors committed to moving away from past incarceration-driven practices. They engaged in a conversation about how to implement this new vision. There was also discussion about FJP’s Summer Fellows program.

Moderator: Tony Thompson, NYU Law Professor of Clinical Law and Faculty Director of the Center on Race, Inequality, and the Law
