S2EP2: Unpacking the Pardon Process with Law Professor and National Clemency Expert Rachel Barkow

This week on Just Justice we peel back the curtain on the inner workings of the federal clemency process with law professor Rachel Barkow, a nationally-recognized expert in the field. Professor Barkow walks us through the stunningly complex and inefficient pardon application process, rates  Presidents Obama, Biden and first-term Trump in their pardon efforts, and speculates about what we might expect from a second-term Trump administration.     To learn more about Professor Rachel Barkow:  Go to her faculty profile at https://its.law.nyu.edu/facultyprofiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=profile.biography&personid=20660   Link to Prisoners of Politics: Breaking the Cycle of Mass Incarceration: https://www.amazon.com/Prisoners-Politics-Breaking-Cycle-Incarceration/dp/0674919238   Link to her forthcoming book (out in March) Justice Abandoned: How the Supreme Court Ignored the Constitution and Enabled Mass Incarceration:  https://www.amazon.com/Justice-Abandoned-Supreme-Constitution-Incarceration/dp/067429422X/ref=sr_1_2?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.kUKG1SWXX95ejgcdbzYq1Ntmoyu8zP4D8T7GzRBBbIc.LJ3jH0pxb-v-3pyTU5ekGkDNxWd45WOomscPcb6OdfM&dib_tag=se&qid=1739897708&refinements=p_27%3ARachel+Elise+Barkow&s=books&sr=1-2   To learn more about Jessica Henry: Website: http://jessicahenryjustice.com/  Subscribe to newsletter Watch my TEDx talk No-Crime Wrongful Convictions here.
