Why do bail system changes remain a topic of intense debate nationwide? A couple of competing fears are driving the tension: pretrial release compromising public safety and worries about systemic inequities and unjust consequences for those presumed innocent. Bail systems vary from state to state and county to county, and they often remain a mystery to those who have never participated in the process. Without a clear understanding of how pretrial policies, tools, and logistics work, fear can often drown out common sense in the reform debate.
We hope you can join us for our webinar March 7th. You will hear from our panel of judges representing different jurisdictions who will provide a better understanding of how the legal system navigates the delicate balance between public safety and individual rights. Drawing on their expertise, the judges will explain the considerations surrounding bail, compare and contrast their experiences from diverse legal landscapes, and offer a glimpse into the decision-making process. Whether you're a policymaker, criminal justice professional, or an advocate for change, this webinar will give you insight into what the bail system is-and what it could be.
