(RESCHEDULED from 2/27/19)

Join us for a panel discussion on the SB-10 Referendum, a measure that eliminates cash bail in California and replaces it with a system of risk assessment. Panelists will discuss the multifaceted issue of cash bail bond reform.

Understand and connect with the issues surrounding bail reform in California. One of the most heavily debated subjects in criminal justice and for our greater society is whether or not cash bail should be eliminated, and if so what will replace bail. Attendees of this dynamic lunch program will learn how bail and pre-trial release currently works in California and what various stake holders are trying to change.

The goal of this panel based program is to present views from all sides of the issues surrounding bail in California so attendees can be better educated and aware of a critical change that is occurring in our criminal justice system.

Networking and registration beginning at 11:30am. Program starts promptly at noon.
