The Bar Association of San Francisco (BASF) and the Justice and Diversity Center of the Bar Association of San Francisco (JDC) representatives were featured in the media on a variety of topics in September, including the election for district attorney of San Francisco, and consensual encounters with the police.
Here’s the roundup of what you may have missed:
- Hosted by BASF, candidates for the district attorney of San Francisco discussed topics such as chronic mental health issues, homelessness and reform of the city’s cash bail system at a debate on September 9.
- Julie Traun, director of court programs at BASF, spoke in an article regarding whether the San Francisco Police Department should hand out business cards every time they question someone in an effort to minimize bias.
