“Re-Imagining Criminal Justice: Implications for Practice, Research and Teaching” is the focus of the University of Wisconsin Law School’s 2009 Kastenmeier Lecture, to be presented Friday, November 13, 2009, at 4 p.m. in Room 2260 (Godfrey & Kahn Hall). 

Three UW Law School professors will share the program: Walter Dickey, Professor of Law and Director of the Frank J. Remington Center; Michael Scott, Clinical Associate Professor of Law; and Cecelia Klingele, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law.

Wisconsin scholars have advanced and experimented with promising approaches that give new definition to public safety and justice and how they are best advanced, in the face of doubt as to the effectiveness of the conventional use of arrest, prosecution, conviction, and correctional treatment. The 2009 Kastenmeier Lecture will explore ideas that animate these new approaches, and their implications for criminal justice professionals, research and teaching.

The UW Law School’s annual lecture honors Wisconsin Congressman Robert W. Kastenmeier, an outstanding graduate of the Law School’s Class of 1952, who served with great distinction in the U.S. Congress from 1958 to 1990.
