Dedra Brown, Elizabeth Luminoso and Kimberly Trotter, all 3Ls at Lincoln Memorial University Duncan School of Law, have been nominated as spring 2023 fellows to work alongside the American Bar Association Legal Education and Police Practices Consortium. Trotter is the newest LMU Law addition to the fellowship, as Luminoso and Brown both participated as fall 2022 fellows. The consortium is a collaboration of approximately 60 law schools across the country. Its mission is to collaborate with law schools “to advance the practice of policing, promote racial equity in the criminal legal system, and eliminate policing tactics that are racially motivated or have a disparate impact based on race.” The fellows will help advance these goals by forming connections in the Knoxville law enforcement community, gathering information on local police practices, and assisting in the research efforts of the consortium.
