I also am grateful for the many other partners who contribute to and strengthen our work—a list of people and organizations that grows every day. It has been a fall full of opportunities for collaboration and connection, from conferences to IAALS' convenings.

Whether you are a close advisor, a connection made at a national conference, or someone who sees the promise of a better justice system, we are grateful for your partnership, your engagement, and your support.
