As we continue to preview the panels at the May 20 CodeX FutureLaw Conference, the next panel is “The Role of Technologist in Reforming the Criminal Justice System. It addresses the questions of “What data can/should judges and prosecutors use to determine who should be charged, who should get out of prison, and how to minimize recidivism? What are best practices for structuring analytics to provide greater transparency into police conduct?” the organizers note. “How can the government leverage technologist in academia to further it’s policy goals? Collection, use and storage of police data.”

Moderating the hour-long presentation, which starts at 3:15 p.m., is Professor Phil Malone, who joined the Stanford Law School’s faculty in 2013, “as the inaugural director of the Juelsgaard Intellectual Property and Innovation Clinic of the Mills Legal Clinic and professor of law,”he notes.
