Symposium speakers include leaders from the Los Angeles Unified School District, Center of Policing Equity, Justice Policy Institute and Youth Advocate Programs. A number of university professors, judges and attorneys are also scheduled to speak.<\/p>\n
The fellows were selected from a wide pool of applicants based on editors\u2019 recommendations and planned projects.<\/p>\n
