Justice: What we know from two decades of research
Restorative justice aims to increase accountability and
healing for people after crime occurs. What does research tell us about the
benefits and limits of restorative justice? When and where is it best
applied—and where is greater caution needed?
Dr. Emily Gaarder is an
Associate Professor and the Director of the Center for Restorative
Justice and Peacemaking at the University of Minnesota-Duluth. She
helped establish the Domestic Violence
Restorative Circles Program in Duluth, Minnesota, one of the only programs
of its kind that specifically works with cases of intimate partner abuse. She
has evaluated restorative justice programs and facilitated restorative practices
involving adult and juvenile crime for the past 15 years.
1:30 pm - Break
1:45 pm – Implicit Bias in
the Legal Profession - 1.0 Elimination of Bias CLE
credit
To better understand our growing, vibrant and diverse
community and its impact on our profession, we must intentionally look at the
biases, assumptions and beliefs we carry into our interactions with clients. We
must first focus our efforts inward. The most effective process to making
our profession better is to start by examining ourselves then move to
working together as a collective to make the necessary changes to our
profession. This internal process starts with becoming more aware of unconscious
bias, how pervasive it is our lives and its real implications on us, our
profession.
