We couldn’t be more proud of prof @stevezeidman of our @cunycrimclinic for his work as Judith Clark’s attorney — and for making such work the backbone of our students’ criminal justice education

The fundamental role of our parole system is to allow people to repair their lives and re-enter society. We may not be used to it, but this is what justice looks like. If anything, it's far overdue.

"My first semester @CUNYLaw I saw prof @babe_howell speak...the way she spoke, her intensity, her intellect, her ability to challenge the system, her passion. She's a warrior, and I'm a warrior. I thought, This is who I'm going to be." via @MarshallProj
