About the Event
Join us for an insightful presentation with Lorelei Billing from ATSILS as she explores the complex relationship between Indigenous people, crime and punishment. This seminar will look into the historical and systemic factors contributing to the overrepresentation of First Nations people in the justice system, the ongoing challenges they face and the meaningful reforms that are making a difference. Whether you're a law student, legal professional, or simply passionate about justice, this is a valuable opportunity to gain expert insights and be part of the conversation on creating real change.
This event will also be live streamed, please register.
