This intermediate, one-day workshop provides a high-level overview of pretrial legal foundations and best practices through a racial equity lens — for people in a hurry! Great for busy justice system professionals, government and nonprofit leaders (and their staff), community advocates and anyone who influences pretrial policies and practices. 

By the end of the workshop, you will be able to:

● Describe the legal requirements and foundational research of pretrial justice 

● Analyze strategies to maximize pretrial liberty, equity, safety, and court appearance 

● Assess local pretrial systems and their alignment with the law and research, including a focus on equitable practices and outcomes

● Begin to identify next steps for pretrial system improvement in your own work

In addition to the five-hour course, participants will have access to reading materials and resources through the University of Pretrial.

Course Fee: $125
