University of Chicago Law Review Online Symposium, Episode 1: COVID-19 and Criminal Justice

In a special partnership with The University of Chicago Law Review Online and the Academy for Justice, Ipse Dixit brings you a three part series on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice. This symposium of essays, hosted by The University of Chicago Law Review Online, was organized by the Academy for Justice. The contributors include leaders of criminal justice and health law centers, and scholars of criminal legal systems, whose works discuss the intersection of Criminal Justice and the COVID-19 pandemic. Contributors include Valena E. Beety (ASU), Brandon L. Garrett with Deniz Ariturk and William E. Crozier (Duke), Sharon Dolovich (UCLA), Maybell Romero (Northern Illinois), Pamela R. Metzger with Gregory J. Guggenmos (SMU Deason Center), Barry Friedman (NYU) with Robin Tholin, and Jennifer Oliva (Seton Hall).

In November, the participants joined each other online to discuss their pieces with Ipse Dixit host Maybell Romero, associate professor at Northern Illinois University College of Law. In this Episode 1 of the resulting three part series, Romero speaks with Sharon Dolovich about her piece, Mass Incarceration, Meet COVID-19, and Valena Beety about her piece, Pre-Trial Dismissal in the Interest of Justice: A Response to COVID-19 and Protest Arrests. Dolovich is Professor of Law at UCLA, and the founding director of the UCLA Prison Law and Policy Program, which is just entering its 7th year. She also spearheads the UCLA Law COVID-19 Behind Bars Data Project. Professor Beety is professor of law at Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and the deputy director of the Academy for Justice, a criminal justice center connecting research with policy reform.
