There's exciting movement in the prior conviction impeachment context. To capture, boost, and steer it, Julia Simon-Kerr and I recently wrote a report in partnership with NACDL, exploring the need and possible avenues for change. You can read it here: strengthenthesixth.org/focus/PRIOR-CO….

Did DEI cause today’s NYC earthquake? No, but it didn’t prevent it, either.

Can’t wait for this convo about Rᴏʙᴇʀᴛ L. Tsᴀɪ’s new book! #DemandTheImpossible examines the career of Stephen Bright, a giant in the public defense community who we can all learn from.

So cool seeing Michelle Alexander (The New Jim Crow) in convo with ⁦Alexis Hoag-Fordjour⁩ and Afrika Owes ‘24 ⁦Fordham Law⁩!
