MNJRC 2023 Conference: Re-Imagining Justice: Centering Humanity Over Fear

Tickets are now available for general admission, legal professionals seeking CLE credits, student-priced, and for social work CEUs. Limited scholarships and group rates are available by contacting the MNJRC at info@mnjrc.org.

The MNJRC's annual Re-Imagining Justice Conference is an inspirational convening of a broad diversity of criminal legal system practitioners, scholars, advocates, impacted persons, and community members. Through keynotes, plenaries, and breakout sessions, we create the space to share and learn from efforts to bring the criminal legal system closer to a true justice system.

This year we will be "centering humanity over fear" as our theme. We seek to address the pervasive fear rhetoric about crime and criminals and instead use our research and practice to better understand and support the humanity of all while repairing harm and holding individuals accountable to create safe communities.
