Bringing restorative justice to the law school context interrupts this cycle and equips the next generation of criminal justice professionals to bring the restorative justice approach to bear in reforming the current system.


The National Center on Restorative Justice has developed a curriculum to provide educators with resources and activities to bring restorative justice education to their institutions, whether as a stand-alone class or integrated into existing courses. The curriculum is organized into modules on different topics, each with a wide range of suggested resources and teaching methods. Each module focuses on a different foundational area of restorative justice education. The modules are designed to build on each other, but can also be used independently, depending on the specific needs of the individual educator.

Module 1: Key Players in Restorative Justice
Module 2: Restorative Practices in Clinical Education


This one-day, virtual gathering aimed to explore the applicability of restorative justice content and practices in the law school context and what restorative approaches have to offer the field of legal education. This was an opportunity to learn more about restorative justice and to explore, as a community of law students, how restorative justice might be brought into law school classrooms and communities.
