The Legal Revolution: Utilizing Legal Education and Practice to Transform the Criminal Justice System

The Legal Revolution is a movement to structurally transform the legal discipline through a series of initiatives that center racial equity, wellness, and the expertise of those most impacted by the law. The Prison-to-Law Pipeline is facilitating ABA-accredited law degrees and ABA-approved paralegal degrees for incarcerated legal scholars.

Panelists John Goeppinger (Legal Revolution, Director of Firm Development), Jon Geffen (Director of Reentry Services), and Maya Johnson (Director of Prison-to-Law Pipeline) will address the work being done with the Prison-to-Law Pipeline, as well as the civil legal services being provided by The Legal Revolution Law Firm.

The MNJRC's annual Re-Imagining Justice conference brings together a broad set of stakeholders to share, learn, and generate ideas on how to transform Minnesota’s criminal legal system through research, education, and policy. Criminal legal system practitioners, experts, scholars, advocates, and people directly impacted by the system gather for powerful conversations, workshops, and to hear leaders discuss how to re-imagine a justice system that functions more effectively, humanely, and with the public’s trust.
