  • CJS History: Diversity and Inclusion

    Send us Fan Mail

    Judge Tracie Todd joins us to lead us through a review of the Section's history with diversity and inclusion. We begin our discussion focused on diversity and inclusion reflected in our membership and leadership. We then discuss some of the many projects that have aimed to address issues for members of diverse communities within the criminal justice system. And yes, we talk about some gaps and shortcomings of our Section's history of diversity and inclusion. This is not an exhaustive review of all policy, projects and initiatives but it  is an overview.
