About us
The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that works to reform, revitalize – and when necessary, defend – our country's systems of democracy and justice. At this critical moment, the Brennan Center is dedicated to protecting the rule of law and the values of Constitutional democracy. We focus on voting rights, campaign finance reform, ending mass incarceration, and preserving our liberties while also maintaining our national security. Part think tank, part advocacy group, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them – in Congress and the states, the courts, and in the court of public opinion.

Brennan Center’s Robyn Sanders will testify before the California State Assembly Committee on Elections about the PEACE Act on Apr 10. This model legislation ensures guns don't interfere with voters or election officials during the entire voting process: https://lnkd.in/d5Jih-aB

My latest for the good folks at the Brennan Center's State Court Report. Also, something I didn't say in the piece is this is likely one of the last great opinions from Justice G. Barry Anderson. Less than two months until he retires.
Minnesota's constitution and the U.S. Constitution use identical language to describe protections against unreasonable searches and seizures in criminal prosecutions. But that hasn't stopped the Minnesota Supreme Court from providing a higher level of protection to defendants, explains Anthony Sanders for State Court Report. https://lnkd.in/gYmVUyB3

BREAKING: We filed a petition on behalf of The League of Women Voters of Michigan in RNC v. Benson. The lawsuit seeks to compel more aggressive purges of Michigan’s voter roll based on unsubstantiated and flawed data. This could endanger eligible voters.

Yesterday, Excessive Punishment was released by Columbia University Press. This anthology explores and reimagines the U.S. justice system. I wrote about why punishing kids with adults in prison is excessive punishment. Extremely punishing people does not improve public safety - only dehumanizes and breeds anger and hopelessness. #treatkidslikekids Grab a copy of this book and get involved in the discussion. Thank you @lbeisen for your leadership and beautiful work to get this done. @brennancenter https://lnkd.in/gHczEiDt
