The California Catholic Conference, representing the Catholic community in the state of California, will host a conference on August 3 and 4, 2012 at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles titled "Responsibility, Rehabilitation and Restoration - A Symposium on Crime, Punishment and the Common Good in California."
The purpose of this statewide event is to convene those affected by the criminal justice system. The 750 attendees will learn more about California’s current system, deepen their awareness of the Restorative Justice model and commit to bringing it into fruition. There will also be a focus on specific calls to actions for all these members of the community, including city, state and local government officials, to provide leadership in creating a criminal justice system that is more responsive to victims, offenders and communities.
The symposium’s keynote speakers are all fully committed to the restorative justice model. Azim Khamisa and Ples Felix, Jr., of the Tarik Khamisa Foundation, will open the conference on Friday night. The Honorable Judge Gail Brewster Bereola of the Superior Court of California, Alameda County, will be the Saturday keynote.
Dates: August 3-4, 2012
Location: Loyola Marymount University
Sponsored by the California Catholic Conference. Co-sponsored by LMU and Loyola Law School.
