The book draws upon Henning鈥檚 25 years of experience representing Black youth in Washington, D.C.鈥檚 juvenile courts. She investigates the correlation between policing and the juvenile justice system鈥檚 treatment of Black children and adolescents. Her research also examines the criminalization of Black adolescent play and sexuality, and of Black fashion, hair, and music. Henning, who received her J.D. from Yale and her LL.M from Georgetown Law, is a nationally recognized trainer and consultant on the intersection of race, adolescence, and policing. She is the Blume Professor of Law and director of the Juvenile Justice Clinic and Initiative at the Georgetown University Law Center. She first joined the Georgetown faculty in 1995 as a Stuart-Stiller Fellow in the Criminal and Juvenile Justice Clinics. After her fellowship, Henning joined the staff of the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia where she continued to represent clients and helped organize a Juvenile Unit designed to meet the multi-disciplinary needs of children in the juvenile legal system. Professor Henning served as lead attorney for the Juvenile Unit from 1998 until she left the Public Defender Service to return to the Georgetown Law Center in 2001. Henning has trained state actors across the country on the nature and scope of racial bias and how it operates in the juvenile and criminal legal systems. Her workshops help stakeholders recognize their own biases and develop strategies to counter them and equip defenders to challenge racial injustice in their individual case advocacy and broader systemic reform efforts. Henning also worked closely with the McArthur Foundation鈥檚 Juvenile Indigent Defense Action Network to develop a 41-volume Juvenile Training Immersion Program (JTIP), a national training curriculum for juvenile defenders. She now co-hosts, with the National Juvenile Defender Center (NJDC), an annual week-long JTIP summer academy for defenders. In 2019, she partnered with NJDC to launch Racial Justice for Youth: A Toolkit for Defenders, and again in 2020 to launch the Ambassadors for Racial Justice program, a year-long program for defenders committed to challenging racial inequities in the juvenile legal system. Henning has received several honors for her work, including the Juvenile Law Center鈥檚 Leadership Prize, the Robert E. Shepherd, Jr. Award for Excellence in Juvenile Defense from NJDC, the Shanara Gilbert Award from the American Association of Law Schools for her commitment to justice on behalf of children, selection to the American Law Institute (ALI), and appointment as an adviser to ALI鈥檚 Restatement on Children and the Law project. Bowen鈥檚 Faculty Colloquium Speaker Series is part of the law school鈥檚 ongoing commitment to the professional development of its faculty. The monthly series brings national scholars to the law school to discuss their cutting-edge research and latest publications that are having an impact on the law both nationally and internationally. Henning will be speaking in Bowen鈥檚 Friday Courtroom. Her book will be available for purchase at the event, and a book signing will follow the discussion.]]> 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Will Celebrate BBQ @ Bailey Oct. 14 /news-archive/2022/08/15/bbq-bailey-oct-14/ Mon, 15 Aug 2022 14:36:46 +0000 /news/?p=82005 ... 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock Will Celebrate BBQ @ Bailey Oct. 14]]> The tailgating-style event will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Bailey Alumni and Friends Center on the 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock campus.
