Join us for the 2024 North Carolina Law Review Symposium: Justice in the Age of Criminal Records.
Date: Friday, October 11, 2024
Time: 8:30AM to 4:15PM
Location: Kathrine R. Everett Law Library, University of North Carolina School of Law
RSVP: https://forms.gle/nclrsymposiumrsvp
This symposium will examine the role of criminal records in American criminal justice. Criminal records are not a formal part of a criminal sentence, but they trigger a host of quasi-punitive consequences. These penalties can attach to arrest as well as conviction. This symposium will explore the reach and impact of arrest and conviction records from a number of perspectives, including juvenile justice, constitutional law, immigration enforcement and expungement.
