In keeping with the conference theme of reflection on the 10 year anniversary of the police murder of Freddie Gray, and the growth of liberatory, anti-carceral and abolitionist movements over the past decade since, this session will focus on the role of law clinics in leveraging the movement to abolish family policing. A burgeoning movement of families who have been most impacted by the family policing system are calling for a radical reimagination of safety for families – through the shrinking and abolition of the family policing system, and the development of community-driven responses to need and harm. These families, parents and (current and former) youth are calling attention to the many harms perpetrated by the system, particularly for Black and indigenous families, on their families and communities. Family policing abolition has also fueled an increasingly robust body of critical and forward-thinking scholarship, as well as a swell of involvement from attorneys. As yet to be fully interrogated, are the ways in which lawyers and law teaching have helped perpetuate the existing harms of the family policing system, and there is a continued need to develop pedagogical approaches which help law students and the legal profession reckon with these wounds. Law clinics can play a critical role in leveraging the family policing abolition movement. Law clinics can be laboratories not only to spark interest and develop skills for future lawyers, but also to develop modes of critical thinking and radical practice replicable in advocacy efforts by attorneys nationally. Family policing abolition provides fertile ground for meaningful engagement by law students. To further excavate these topics, this session will be framed as a lively discussion between experienced clinical law professors and leading advocates in the family policing abolition movement.
