We are excited to announce that Mitchell Hamline is participating in the American Bar Association Criminal Justice Section Legal Education Police Practices Consortium Fellowship Program.
The ABA Legal Education Police Practices Consortium (LEPPC) was formed to contribute to the national effort to examine and address legal issues in policing and public safety, including conduct, oversight, and the evolving nature of police work. The Consortium will leverage the ABA’s expertise in developing model police practices and that of participating ABA-accredited law schools to collaborate on projects to develop and implement better police practices throughout the United States.
Drawing on the geographic diversity of the ABA and member schools, the Consortium will advance the widespread adoption of model police practices and initiate other projects designed to support effective policing, promote racial equity in the criminal justice system, and eliminate tactics that are racially motivated or have a disparate impact based on race. Each participating law school will develop opportunities for one law student to engage as a Consortium Fellow.
