Thanks for a Great Annual Luncheon!

Logo: Collaboration for JusticeThanks for making our Annual Luncheon last week successful. We’re especially grateful for Greg Berman of the Center for Court Innovation for his great remarks about the relationship of crime rates, recidivism and alternatives to incarceration.

We hope you all found the remarks as interesting as we did. We’ll see you in the spring at our Spring evening event.

In the meantime, please contact us at caffj@chicagoappleseed.org to get involved in our projects. For the fall and winter this  includes: a docket reporting project, an indigence hearing monitoring program, a legislative proposal to alphabetize the retention ballot, a legislative proposal to shorten the time for probable cause hearings, and a series of roundtables examining the work of the Solovy Commission after 20 years.

Congratulations to all our raffle winners! Thanks again for supporting our work through your raffle ticket purchase.
