On April 25, 2017, the Jacob Burns Center for Ethics in the Practice of Law hosted Amy Bach, author of Ordinary Injustice and President and Executive Director of Measures for Justice, to present a preview of her groundbreaking project to bring greater transparency and accountability to the United States’ criminal justice system. Working with a team of researchers and data analysts, Bach has created a tool for evaluating how the system is working at the county level in each state, measured against three goals: public safety, fairness and efficiency. Bach was joined in her presentation by Christian Gossett, the elected District Attorney of Winnebago County, Wisconsin, who was an early proponent of using data to evaluate prosecutors’ work and has been integrally involved in the Measures for Justice project.
