On Friday, February 7, 10:45 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. EST, Emily Early, Associate Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights Southern Regional Office, will moderate Property Reparations, a panel of Georgia State University’s State of the South conference. Center for Constitutional Rights partners Jo and Joy Banner of The Descendants Project will also join as panelists.  

This year’s State of the South Conference is the sixth in a series of annual conferences focusing on different access to justice issues in the Southeastern United States. The conference this year will focus on restorative justice efforts in the South and interdisciplinary approaches to reparative remedies. We will discuss ways in which Southern communities are addressing historical harms and remediating those harms in a variety of contexts. Each panel will highlight the ways in which the broader legal community can support and promote meaningful restorative justice. CLE credits are available.
