Roundtable
The Roundtable on the Future of Justice Policy provides an opportunity for community members, academics, industry leaders, and other experts to come together to reimagine the justice system from the ground up. The Roundtable also works to create a public record for learning and sharing information around what a new “square one” might look like.
Fall 2020 Roundtable
The next Roundtable will be taking place in Austin this fall in partnership with Huston-Tillotson University. Sign up for our newsletter to stay updated as additional information becomes available.
