Kamala Harris visits Stanford Law School
Stanford law students had an interesting guest lecturer on Thursday: California Attorney General Kamala Harris. The students and Stanford Law Professor Joan Petersilia visited the attorney general’s office in San Francisco as part of a fall policy research course Harris and Petersilia organized. The course is focused on realignment, the state plan that will redistribute inmates from state facilities to county jails. As one of the final tests for the Stanford course, students presented their research projects to Harris, who will take the results under advisement as realignment is implemented. — Kevin Lee
