Join us for a conversation with Professor Laurin as part of the Alternative Curriculum series, exploring punishment of homelessness and poverty through criminal penalties, encampment sweeps, and proposed involuntary civil commitment laws at the state and local level – and efforts to mandate criminalization from state and federal executives. The discussion will unpack legal doctrine across subject matter domains (including criminal law, criminal procedure, and constitutional law) that facilitates criminalization of individuals experiencing homelessness - and of status more generally - especially after the Supreme Court’s recent decision in City of Grants Pass v. Johnson . . . and avenues for identifying legal limits on such criminalization.
Lunch will be provided.
