UCLA School of Law’s Criminal Justice Law Review and Criminal Justice Program symposium series.
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE ORIGINS
The UCLA School of Law’s Criminal Justice Law Review and Criminal Justice Program invites you to attend our virtual symposium series “Restorative Justice Origins, Applications, and Futures.” Restorative justice is a term and practice with increasing currency, but is not always well understood. This symposium series will provide law students and faculty with an understanding of the foundations of restorative justice, how restorative justice can be used as an alternative to the criminal and juvenile legal systems, and how to incorporate restorative justice in the legal academy.
