Mitchell Hamline Law Review is excited to invite you to our spring symposium, Locked Up and Locked Out: Reforming Inequity in the Criminal Justice System on Friday, April 8th, 2022. 

This event will be fully virtual, taking place via Zoom. There will be opportunities for continuing education and elimination of bias credits with registration.

Panels (see full schedule below) will highlight and explore the deep fissures in our criminal justice system and feature discussions with lawyers and community leaders who are making change through their representation, advocacy, and leadership. Speakers will discuss some of the most pressing issues in this space, including missing and murdered Indigenous relatives, wrongful convictions, restorative justice in practice, juvenile diversion programs, and so much more.

Join us after the symposium to hear from our Keynote Speaker, Anthony Ray Hinton. Anthony Ray Hinton survived for 30 years on Alabama’s death row. His story is a decades-long journey to exoneration and freedom. We are very thankful to Mr. Hinton for sharing his time and experiences with us.
