Ordinary Injustice: How America Holds Court

Amy Bach

About the Program

Amy Bach discusses what she calls the clubby legal culture of compromise. This includes public defenders who plead their clients guilty without delving into the facts and prosecutors who are overzealous on cases where the evidence isn't strong.  The event is in San Francisco.
