There are documented racial disparities at every stage of the criminal legal system in Massachusetts. Counteracting racial injustice is therefore an essential part of zealous advocacy and effective representation of your clients of color. Nowhere is that more true than at the plea and sentencing stages.
Our experienced faculty teach you how to marshal data documenting the racial disparities which exist in the Massachusetts criminal and juvenile delinquency system and prepare a compelling mitigation strategy that actively counteracts implicit racial and ethnic biases to help your client achieve the best possible outcome.
