Someone once said that collateral consequences are the interest that we continue to exact after someone has already paid their debt to society. In the Systemic Justice Project, we look for ways to reduce that interest, so that folks can live full and free lives. Parole In states with indeterminate sentencing schemes, the parole process is just as — or arguably even more — important than a person’s sentencing hearing. We want to help ensure that people who are incarcerated receive the fairest possible process at parole. Inmates’ Rights People don’t disappear when they are incarcerated, only to re-materialize in 5 to 15 years. Nonetheless, outside society often seemingly forgets about both the needs and the rights of incarcerated folks. We believe that incarcerated people are no less a part of our community when they are away, than they are when they are home. And that their lives matter. https://www.shandasibley.com/home daily 1.0 2021-08-20 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60e3f81ae8b8c5744ab87fd4/t/60e6a3db1a94b7157ea1ee96/1629485511532/IMG_2772.jpg Home - Law Teaching I believe that some of us will effect a few big positive changes in the world before we leave it, and others of us will effect many small positive changes. But what all of us can do is to effect constant positive change. And my way of doing this is through helping to build better lawyers. Legal education is extraordinary flawed. It can — and should — be better. Much better. And the only people who can make it better are law professors and administrators. Although I’m an excellent teacher, I didn’t choose to teach because I think that no one could do it better than me. Instead, I chose to teach because I think that not enough law professors do it like me. We have to talk about race. We have to talk about class and the aims of capitalism. We have to talk about how the law distributes and codifies power. We have to talk about who wins and who loses and why that happens. The law is not a collection of rules. Instead, it is a collection of decisions. And all decisions have decisionmakers. We have to talk about that. Not just sometimes, but all of the time. And we have to talk to future lawyers about who they want to be and how they want to fit into — or upend — the systems that currently exist. We do a fine job of teaching students the hows, but we also need to give them a framework for thinking about the whys. https://www.shandasibley.com/contact-me daily 0.75 2021-08-20 https://www.shandasibley.com/diversity-equity-belonging daily 0.75 2021-08-20 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60e3f81ae8b8c5744ab87fd4/t/60e69bc426433e5d4734ae21/1625725909663/IMG_2751.jpg Diversity, Equity & Belonging https://www.shandasibley.com/biography daily 0.75 2021-08-23 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60e3f81ae8b8c5744ab87fd4/t/6116ff0ba7a8892450245977/1629484661831/IMG_2796.jpg Bio Prior to joining Temple Law in 2019, Shanda was the Associate Director and an Acting Assistant Professor in the Lawyering Program at NYU School of Law.
