Join us for an engaging conversation with U.S. District Court Judge Frederic Block and President and Joseph Crea Dean David D. Meyer, presented in partnership with the Center for Criminal Justice. Block will discuss his latest book, A Second Chance: A Federal Judge Decides Who Deserves It, which offers a rare glimpse behind the bench as he weighs compassionate release cases under the First Step Act. Through real-life cases, Block explores the complexities of criminal sentencing, the power of second chances, and the broader implications for justice reform. Don’t miss this thought-provoking discussion on law, fairness, and redemption. A reception will follow.
