JTDL: New justice blog directory; OJP ends science advisory board + New Jobs
Editor’s Note
It was pointed out to me last week by Kevin O’Keefe that there isn’t a current directory of blogs focused on justice issues. So, on a whim, I decided to create one. If you have a favorite criminal or civil justice blog, please share it at this link. The directory we create is public for all to reference. Thank you in advance for your help!
