March 24, 2021 鈥  新加坡toto开奖结果 University鈥檚 Chase College of Law examines the future of drug policy in America and if decriminalization is a solution for addiction and policing reform on March 26.

Hosted by the 新加坡toto开奖结果 Law Review鈥攁n independent journal published entirely by Chase Law students鈥攖he symposium brings scholars from around the country to share their research on the role of courts in future policies. Practitioners of the Drug Policy Alliance will also share their experiences with implementing alternatives to criminalization and its societal impacts.

鈥淓ach year, the Law Review editorial board selects a contemporary challenge with widespread impact on law and society as a topic to explore at our symposium. This year we will focus on a problem that is particularly vexing in our region, drug policy and its implications for addiction and policing. An international panel of experts will explore trends toward decriminalization of currently prohibited conduct, assessing the benefits and risks of moving to such a system,鈥 said Judith Daar, Ambassador Patricia L. Herbold Dean of Chase College of Law. 鈥淎cross all 50 states, laws are changing at a rapid pace. Each informed conversation is focused on the potential effects of reform policies and Chase is proud to add value to this national dialogue.鈥

Chase Law will also host a keynote conversation with Representative Rachel Roberts with the Kentucky House of Representatives. Rep. Roberts sponsored in this year鈥檚 Kentucky General Assembly, which would legalize recreational cannabis use in the Commonwealth. Professor Alex Kreit, director of NKU Chase Law Center on Addiction Law and Policy, will lead the discussion.

鈥淎ny chance for true dialogue and debate is always welcome,鈥 said Rep. Roberts. 鈥淣o matter which side of an issue you are on, hearing differing voices expands your understanding of the broader issue and how it is received by others.  Conversations like the one this symposium facilitates help to move a topic forward, foster curiosity, critical thinking and productive debate.鈥
