Upcoming events of note and possible interest

Thursday, Sept. 24 10am Ohio Criminal Sentencing Commission Meeting
Friday-Saturday, Sept. 25-26 Guilty Minds: A Virtual Conference on Mens Rea and Criminal Justice Reform
Friday, Sept. 25 12noon Understanding Racial Bias in Algorithms

Monday-Thursday Oct. 19-22 Prison Brake: Rethinking the Sentencing Status Quo (attending the October 20 afternoon sessions will be in place of our class)
Wednesday Oct. 21 12noon Bodiker Lecture on Criminal Justice
I welcome folks identifying other notable online events to include on this list. And, as I have mentioned in class, I urge students to keep a "billing sheet" of time spent attending these or other sentencing-instructive events.

I thought this was worth sharing:
Ohio University, the Center for Law, Justice, & Culture, and the Ohio Innocence Project are hosting a virtual event about wrongful convictions, specifically the role of conviction integrity units in prosecutor's offices on October 7 at 6PM.
Two of the speakers are Ohio Innocence Project exonerees.
