The Trial Penalty with Norman Reimer & Elisa Klein

from Voir Dire: Conversations from the Harvard Kennedy School Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management · host HKS Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management

I discuss why the endangerment of the American trial is so problematic with Norman Reimer, Executive Director of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and Elisa Klein, Associate at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.
