In his new book, former federal prosecutor Paul Butler powerfully demonstrates why current efforts to reform law enforcement will not create lasting change.  A law professor at Georgetown University, Butler provides legal commentary for CNN, MSNBC, and NPR.  He is the author of Let’s Get Free: A Hip-Hop Theory of Justice, winner of the Harry Chapin Media Award.

The Brown Lecture Series is supported by a generous grant from the Eddie C. and Sylvia Brown Foundation.
