June 3, 2024
A core part of the work of the UBalt School of Law's Center for Criminal Justice Reform occurs during the Maryland General Assembly's action-packed, 90-day legislative session. Every January to April, you can often find the Center's team in Annapolis, collaborating with partners, meeting with legislators, and testifying on bills affecting prisons and jails, policing, expungement, reentry, sentencing, drug policy, violence reduction, and more. Established in 2022, the Center for Criminal Justice Reform supports community-driven efforts to improve public safety and address the harm and inequity caused by the criminal legal system. This year, they're reporting major success during the session.
