Criminal Justice Reform Conference Exposed
BOISE – A one-day conference featuring Idaho Congressman Raul Labrador, U.S. Office of Legal Policy leader Jonathan Wroblewski, and other notable figures is set to address the pressing issues in the state’s criminal justice system.
The Criminal Justice Reform Conference is scheduled for June 6, 2016, at Concordia University School of Law in Boise. The event will bring together scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to discuss reforms targeting sentencing, collateral consequences of criminal convictions, and alternative courts.
“Increasingly, laws and policies are being enacted to restrict persons with a felony conviction (particularly convictions for drug offenses) from, among other things, employment, receipt of welfare benefits, access to public housing, and eligibility for student loans for higher education,” said S. Richard Rubin, Executive Director, Federal Defender Services of Idaho.
Chief United States District Court Judge B. Lynn Winmill, United States Magistrate Judge Candy W. Dale, Idaho State Fourth District Court Judge Timothy Hansen, Wendy J. Olson, U.S. Attorney for the District of Idaho, and other notable figures are set to attend the conference.
“Those who have devoted their professional careers to the criminal justice system well know that we cannot just prosecute, convict and incarcerate our way to safer, healthier communities,” said Wendy J. Olson, U.S. Attorney for the District of Idaho.
The conference is open to all members of the legal and law enforcement communities. For additional information, contact Anne Comstock, Concordia University School of Law, at 208-639-5402.
The event is hosted by Concordia University School of Law, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Idaho, and the Federal Defender Services of Idaho.
