A highlight of the issue is an article authored by civil rights attorney Victor Jones, a presenter at CLRJ’s annual symposium “Juvenile (In)justice: Confronting Racial Disproportionality, Disparity, & Bias Against Children of Color.” In his article, Jones explores the impacts of exclusionary discipline during remote learning, or the virtual school-to-prison pipeline. Another highlight is an article by Professor Anita Weinberg and Lilia Valdez on the struggles of making “reasonable efforts” during the pandemic and the potential impacts on families involved in the child welfare system. The issue also contains an article by third-year law student Hannah Cholewinski comparing U.S. and German education policy in the time of COVID-19, and an article by recent Loyola law graduate Nicole Pijon that examines Illinois’ discretionary transfer statute and its disparate impact on youth of color. The latter half of the issue includes six featured practice perspectives by current Loyola law students: Symone Bullock, Hannah Cholewinski, Ariel Katz, Emma Knight, Madeleine Morris, and Nicole Pijon.
