A Special Risk: The Supreme Court's Concerns with Eyewitness Testimony

Thanks for coming to our event!

Hey there CJL fans and members,

Thanks to everyone who came to our first event of the new school year. It was great to see so many of you there to hear Marna Anderson from WATCH discuss the economics of domestic violence. If you're interested in learning more about WATCH and its mission, please visit watchmn.org.

Justice League members and enthusiasts:

Thanks for a great first meeting today!  We will be holding regular check-in meetings every other Thursday, starting on the second Thursday in October (the 13th).  They'll be twenty minutes long and we'll try to provide snacks, so feel free to pop in, grab some food, and see what's going on with CJL!

We'll provide more info as the meetings draw nearer.

CJL Human Rights Picnic: Supermax Prisons

Criminal Justice League End of Summer Event

Human Rights Picnic: Supermax Prisons

When:  Wednesday, August 24 · 7:00pm - 9:00pm 

Where: Van Cleve Park 

Who: Hosted by the Twin Cities Student Coalition for Human Rights

What:  Come participate in a potluck discussion on the phenomenon of Supermax prisons in the United States, and their effect on the prison system as a whole, its inmates, and the wider community.

We will especially be discussing the Human Rights
Coalition’s extensive research on the use of isolation in prisons, and the recent hunger strikes by supermax prisoners in California.  On Tuesday, one day before our discussion, legislators are meeting to address the ongoing Pelican Bay hunger strike protesting isolation, so we will be able to discuss the outcome of that meeting.

Potluck style: bring your ideas and, if you can, something yummy to share!
