For nearly two decades, Emily Alpert Reyes ’28 helped tell other people's stories. She covered a range of topics, including city government scandals and health crises, often chronicling the challenges facing marginalized Angelenos for the Los Angeles Times. She won national awards for her education reporting and witnessed moments most people never see — shadowing a drug overdose rescue crew on Skid Row, covering an FBI raid of City Hall and documenting a mother's heartbreak as she placed her disabled son in institutional care.
Join NYU Law's Rachel Barkow, in conversation with UCLA Law’s Máximo Langer, for a discussion on her new book, Justice Abandoned: How the Supreme Court Ignored the Constitution and Enabled Mass Incarceration. In Justice Abandoned, Barkow highlights six SCOTUS cases that, she argues, paved the way for massive growth in the American prisoner population and helped make the United States the world’s most prolific jailer.
