"Constitutional Rights vs. U.S. Bail System"

Alireza Nourani-Dargiri, JD
Postdoctoral Fellow, Social Justice Institute
Adjunct Professor, School of Law

Alireza Nourani-Dargiri's research focuses primarily on the intersection of race and law to provide insight into disparate consequences in legal systems. This talk will explore how the U.S. bail system impacts foundational constitutional rights. Please join us for a presentation that discusses how the current system violates various constitutional rights and has disparate impacts for minoritized groups, highlighting the need for comprehensive bail reform. 

Light refreshments will be provided. There will be Q+A following the presentation.
