PLAF Asks 'Should Police Engage in Restorative Justice?'

Police departments often treat formal complaints of racial bias in policing primarily as a matter of internal discipline. However, a restorative justice program could serve an important need for citizens who file complaints of police wrongdoing to be heard and that police officers also ensure that their perspective communicated to the public. On Monday, May 24 from 12-1:30 p.m., the Policing Los Angeles Forum will examine whether this is the right course. More>>

Reminders

Student Vaccination Confirmation Portal is Live

Vax LMU, the university’s new vaccination confirmation portal, is now live for students. In preparation for the university's phased return to campus, students are required to provide the university with confirmation showing they have been vaccinated. Vaccination confirmation will be collected by the Student Vaccination Verification Team and will be maintained with the strictest privacy pursuant to federal and state requirements, including the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). The system, which is only accessible by necessary authorized persons, is easy to use and can be accessed via computer or mobile phone. Please wait until you have received your final dose before submitting your vaccination record. Scanned or photographed images of vaccination record cards will be accepted. Please ensure your image is clear and legible, and that all vaccination dates are provided. Questions? Please see the Student Health Services website.

Medical or Religious Exemptions
A form will be shared with students in early June to request a medical or religious exemption to the vaccine requirement. Students who are granted an exemption may be required to use additional personal protective equipment or take other actions, such as participating in ongoing testing for the health and safety of the university community.

Events

Event coordinators are encouraged to use the LLS Events Calendar for events they want promoted broadly. All LLS events should be posted to the LLS Master Calendar, which has been updated to reflect the law school's virtual event and meeting spaces. Questions? Email us!
