Algorithm Use in Criminal Proceedings

Algorithm Use in Criminal Proceedings
Wednesday, January 23, 2019 | 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Program Fee: Free for Members | $15 for Non-Members

Description:
The panel will focus in significant part on the bail process, due to the concrete example provided by recent developments in New Jersey's use of algorithms in bail reform. The panel will discuss not only how the algorithm is used there by the courts and the effect that it has on the bail process, but the broader application and implications similar algorithms could have in the criminal justice context. Using the example of bail reform as a springboard, panelists on all sides of the issue (prosecution, defense, judiciary, and programming) will examine the potential future topics to which such algorithmic tools may be applied, and the expected benefits or problems the use of algorithms may pose for the criminal justice system.
