Brooklyn Law professors look at policing policies in final legal lunch
The new presidential administration has brought with it a bit of anxiety and many questions, and the Brooklyn Law School has tried to answer some of those questions by hosting Legal Lunches for the past three months.
The lunches, which are free and open to the public, have covered various topics including presidential powers, international trade and climate change. On Monday, professor Jocelyn Simonson and Associate Dean Stacy Caplow covered the Trump administration and policing policies and, just as was discussed during past lunches, the U.S. is in for some big changes.
Everything from the role of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to the use of private prisons, to immigration policy, to Sanctuary City issues, to protests has either already been changed, under the process of change, or is expected to change.
