This spring, the Stanford Criminal Justice Center and the Institute of Criminal Law and Criminal Justice at the University of Gottingen are partnering on a seminar titled "Police and Prisons: German and American Approaches to Reform and Abolition (2030)" for Stanford Law School students ...and Gottingen students.
The seminar examines the legal systems in the U.S. and Germany and utilizes a comparative study of debates over criminal justice reform in the two systems. Currently, six Stanford Law School students (pictured below) are taking the seminar under the instruction of SLS's Debbie Mukamal, David Sklansky, and Robert Weisberg along with six Gottingen students via Zoom. The joint class facilitates an invaluable opportunity for students interested in criminal justice reform at both universities to collaborate and learn from one another.
