This lunch talk will feature Assistant U.S. Attorney Julia Schwartz and Assistant Federal Defender Jack Corfman. They will each explain their respective roles in the federal criminal justice system, including ways they overlap. In addition to discussing their experiences and how they obtained the positions they hold now, we will also talk about current issues in criminal justice. This is a great opportunity to learn about both the U.S. Attorney's Office and the Federal Defender Program!

This convening is open to all invitees who are compliant with UChicago vaccination requirements and, because of ongoing health risks, particularly to the unvaccinated, participants are expected to adopt the risk mitigation measures (masking and social distancing, etc.) appropriate to their vaccination status as advised by public health officials or to their individual vulnerabilities as advised by a medical professional. Public convening may not be safe for all and carries a risk for contracting COVID-19, particularly for those unvaccinated. Participants will not know the vaccination status of others and should follow appropriate risk mitigation measures.
