Professor Anna Roberts has devised and will co-organize a panel scheduled for the 2022 AALS Annual Meeting. The topic is “Rethinking Criminal Law Language,’ and co-panelists are Lauryn Gouldin, Guy Hamilton-Smith, Janet Moore, Michael Pinard, Alice Ristroph, Maybell Romero, and India Thusi.

Professor Roberts’s scholarship on jury exclusion on the basis of criminal convictions was highlighted in a recent Prison Policy Initiative report on the same topic. Finally, she presented on conviction-based impeachment and jury exclusion for an event on “Addressing the Perpetual Punishment of Criminal Records,” hosted by the FedCap Group (see photo).
