In Our Name began as a book and has since developed into a series of symposiums featuring some of the most prominent figures and advocates in the fields of criminal and restorative justice. The mission of In Our Name is to bring the general public into contact with members of the legal community and advocacy groups in order to increase overall awareness of legal policy, and to facilitate discussion toward the reform of the criminal justice system. In Our Name is a civic learning and advocacy organization dedicated to bringing public attention to social, economic, procedural, and restorative justice matters.
