About the event
The MNJRC's annual Re-Imagining Justice Conference is an inspirational convening of a broad diversity of criminal legal system practitioners, scholars, advocates, impacted persons, and community members. Through keynotes, plenaries, and breakout sessions, we create the space to share and learn from efforts to bring the criminal legal system closer to a true justice system.
This year's convening will be in-person for the first time since 2019 under the theme "Pivoting from Problem to Possibility", in which we seek to re-imagine a criminal legal system that doesn't just respond to problems that we see currently happening, but looks for approaches that are based on dreams of what can be.
