Restorative Justice: Building Communities of Healing and Accountability

In Fall 2021, the UCLA School of Law Criminal Justice Program and Criminal Justice Law Review held a three-part symposium on restorative justice. The goal was to engage law students and faculty across the country in conversations about restorative justice and the criminal and juvenile legal system as well as restorative justice pedagogy and its place in the legal academy. Below are the videos for each panel.
