Allow the School of Government to save your information?

The School of Government will keep your information in order to contact you about courses you may be interested in. We will never give or sell your information to an outside source.

School of Government experts will discuss recent developments in criminal law that they have been studying. You will hear from the members of our public defense education team at the School (John Rubin; Defender Educator Phil Dixon; Civil Defender Educator Timothy Heinle; and Racial Equity Network Project Attorney Emily Coward) as well as long-time School of Government faculty member Tom Thornburg and our newest faculty member Brittany Williams. We will cover, among other topics, developing case law on commonly charged offenses, obtaining records helpful to preparation of your case, issues of race, and the new Second Chance Act.
