Loyola hosts criminal justice conference
Loyola Law School's eighth annual Fidler Institute on Criminal Justice brought in Los Angeles legal heavyweights to discuss criminal law landmarks from a half-century ago. The theme of the April 11 event was inspired by this year's 50th anniversary of the law school's downtown Los Angeles campus. It featured opening remarks by Central District U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr. and Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey, as well as panels such as "50 Years Since the Boston Strangler" and "50 Years Since Kitty Genovese," which discussed murder prosecution and sex crime matters, respectively, of the past, present and future. The institute also honored Loyola alumnus and Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge John V. Meigs with the Fidler Award for Judge of the Year and Scheper Kim & Harris LLP attorney Richard E. Drooyan with the Fidler Award for Special Lifetime Achievement. The annual event, named after Loyola alumnus and Superior Court Judge Larry P. Fidler, looks at cutting-edge issues in criminal law. — Kylie Reynolds
