The Human Rights Center invites you for a conversation over coffee with faculty member Professor Jennie Green. Students will gather virtually to hear from Professor Green on her work at the University of MN Law School, the Human Rights Center, as well as her expertise in international human rights law, litigation in U.S. courts and international legal systems, and business and human rights. Attendees are welcome to ask questions and interact, or just listen in.

With a focus on the length of prison sentences and their contribution to America's high rate of incarceration, the Robina Institute's Prison Release: Degrees of Indeterminacy Project shines a light on the oft-ignored role that back-end decision-makers - like parole boards and prison officials – play in determining actual time served. Cross-state differences in legal frameworks for prison release decisions reflect differing capacities to reduce and increase prison populations.
