A Fireside Chat about Juvenile Justice Reform (Palo Alto)

Georgetown Law invites you to a discussion featuring Kristin Henning, Blume Professor of Law and Director of the Juvenile Justice Clinic and Initiative, and Anthony Brinkley, L’24, Juvenile Justice Clinic alumnus. Join the Bay Area community and these esteemed thought-leaders as we explore the lived realities and policy dimensions of the juvenile justice system.

Professor Henning has dedicated her career to defending youth in the justice system and advancing systemic reforms focused on racial bias, adolescence, and legal equity. She is the author of The Rage of Innocence: How America Criminalizes Black Youth, which confronts how racial and developmental biases shape youth policing and legal outcomes.

Anthony Brinkley, L’24, is a youth advocate, mentor, and gang intervention specialist. He is a former system-involved youth and a former juvenile system officer. Anthony received his J.D. from Georgetown Law where he participated in the Juvenile Justice Clinic. He is now a judicial law clerk on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
