November 18: How a Bill Becomes a Law: Federal Prison Reform in the 118th Congress

In recent history, Congress passed two of the most significant reforms to the Federal Bureau of Prisons in decades: the Federal Prison Oversight Act and the Prison Camera Reform Act. The genesis of this bipartisan productivity traces to a damning public record created years prior by reporting from the Associated Press and a series of bipartisan Congressional investigations into dysfunction, corruption, and abuse in Bureau facilities across the country.
On Monday November 18, 2024, NYU JLPP and the Brennan Center for Justice will present a moderated panel with key figures behind the reforms. 

Attorneys seeking CLE credit and law students will gain insights into the interactions between press, advocacy, and Congress that created a new bipartisan consensus surrounding federal prison reform. Those interested in investigative reporting and advocacy, administrative law, legislation, compliance strategies, government relations, and more are encouraged to attend.
