In the 2021-22 school year, RWU co-sponsored, along with the City University of New York School of Law and Jurist, an ongoing Integrating Doctrine & Diversity Speaker Series. The series is now in its third year, along with additional co-sponsors the University of California - Berkeley School of Law and George Washington University School of Law. Join us throughout the school year to learn more practical strategies for integrating DEIB skills and concepts throughout the law school curriculum.

After more than a year, the reality is that COVID-19 is still ravaging Latin America and the Caribbean. The consequences and impact of the pandemic continues to create a domino effect affecting all groups and all areas in the region. Since March 2020, our project members have been monitoring the changes and responses to the crises. The Conference on Access to Information: Latin America and the Caribbean (CAI:LAC) aims to bring all our conversations together and expand our network in the hope of collaborating even further.
The Center offers numerous webinars and speaker series, many free and open to the public, as well as videos of past events.
The Rutgers University Law Review invites you to join our 2021 Spring Virtual Symposium titled Prosecutors, Power, and Racial Justice: Building an Anti-Racist Prosecutorial System.
The murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and countless others at the hands of police have brought structural racism to the forefront of American social discourse. The ongoing crusade for racial justice and countervailing resistance to reform have focused primarily on policing. Equally important, however, is the power of prosecutors to perpetuate or upend the status quo of racial injustice in our criminal and juvenile legal systems.
The 2021 Symposium of the Rutgers University Law Review, in partnership with the Rutgers Center on Criminal Justice, Youth Rights, and Race and the Rutgers Criminal and Youth Justice Clinic, will explore the ways in which federal, state, and local prosecutors have contributed to mass incarceration in the United States and the roles they are playing or might play in developing and championing an antiracist system of prosecution.
