Welcome to the eighth iteration of our quarterly e-newsletter! Our last e-newsletter on the implication of social cognition, implicit bias, and situationalism to race equity work is a tough act to follow but this e-newsetter is one of the best ones yet. In this e-newsletter we’re going to explore the intersection of criminal law, race, and poverty law practice.

The three contributors to this e-newsletter each bring their own unique perspective on how criminal law, race, and poverty law practice intersect. We hope that you will find their articles informative and inspiring. Enjoy!
