The Massachusetts Bar Association's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEIC) continues its robust discussion on restorative justice. Join us for Part 2 as we discuss the efforts that are happening within the trial courts on the state and federal level, schools, workplaces, and programs. At its core, restorative justice defines and re-imagines the definition of “justice,” substituting “punishment” with “repair.” To better understand this shift, the MBA invites you to participate in Part 2 of this series.
Program takeaways include:
- Strategies and methods to successfully advocate for alternative dispositions using restorative justice
- The relevance of restorative justice to minimizing racial disparities in the criminal justice system
- An update on pilot restorative justice programs within the Federal and Superior Court
This program is open and free to all members of the legal community.
