DESCRIPTION:Law enforcement leaders, advocates for equal justice and reform, and police 
 brutality victims will come together for a frank and provocative discussion 
 at the Public Defender’s 2015 Justice Summit on April 29 at San Francisco 
 Main Library. \n\nThe summit, RACE & REFORM, will be held in the 
 library’s Koret Auditorium from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The event is free, 
 but seating is limited. All attendees must register at sfjusticesummit.com. 
 \n\nThe Justice Summit is the premier criminal justice conference on the 
 West Coast. It comes on the heels of accusations involving police officers 
 sending bigoted text messages and sheriff’s deputies forcing jail inmates 
 to fight.  The summit is being held amid new revelations that nearly half 
 of San Francisco arrests are of African Americans, who comprise only 6 
 percent of the city.\n\n“The Justice Summit will give citizens a chance 
 to go beyond the scandals and toward solutions as we discuss implicit bias, 
 racial disparities, and how to fulfill the promise of justice for all,” 
 said San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi, who has hosted the summit 
 for more than a decade. \n\nMichael Roosevelt, an expert in 
 implicit/unconscious bias who has trained thousands of attorneys, judges 
 and police officers, will give the keynote address.\n\nPanel I, The Human 
 Cost of Casual Bias, will include several victims of police abuse as well 
 as Roosevelt and De’Anthony Jones, youth advocate. The panel will be 
 moderated by San Francisco State University Journalism Professor Yumi 
 Wilson. \n\nPanel II, Accountability and Change, will focus on solutions to 
 the racial disparities in the criminal justice system, changing the culture 
 of law enforcement, and the importance of keeping statistics. Panelists 
 include San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi; San Francisco District 
 Attorney George Gascón; San Francisco Police Sgt. Yulanda Williams of 
 Officers for Justice; and Federal Public Defender Galia Phillips. \n\nThe 
 San Francisco Public Defender’s Justice Summit is co-sponsored by the Bar 
 Association of San Francisco. BASF Executive Director Yolanda Jackson will 
 provide opening remarks at the event. Attorneys attending the event will 
 earn 2.5 MCLE credits.\n\nTo register to attend this free event and for
