The Daily Work of Justice

The Daily Work of Justice is a conversation series that invites people directly involved in an issue to share their lived experience, as a way of providing space for others to engage with empathy, understanding, and action. It was created collaboratively by people from diverse units across William & Mary​.

​Our focus for 2017 is the criminal justice system. Over the course of three weeks, we will examine the system from three perspectives:

• February 2: People who have experienced the criminal justice system first-hand (including formerly incarcerated persons, persons who have been charged, family members of those in the system)
• February 9: People who work within the criminal justice system (including police officers, judges, attorneys, and other law enforcement and judiciary representatives)
• February 16: People who walk alongside those in criminal justice system (including advocates, chaplains, and those with nonprofit support programs​)​

Participants will gather around tables, and after a brief introduction, will participate in small group conversations. A guest speaker with personal experience in the issue (as described above) and a facilitator will be at each table. Learn more about our guest speakers in preparation for the conversation.
