NYC School of Data 2024 - March 23, 2024

Rachael Fauss, Senior Policy Advisor, Reinvent Albany
Oded Oren, Founder and Executive Director, Scrutinize
Raelynn Walker, Assistant Director of Research and Data Processing, Measures for Justice
Terry Ding, Staff Attorney, New York Civil Liberties Union

The panel will open with a 10-minute presentation about the state of criminal justice data in NY, highlighting Scrutinize and Reinvent Albany’s December 2023 report, Open Criminal Courts, which found that only 6% of criminal court decisions are published online (https://www.scrutinize.org/opencriminalcourts). The presentation will outline the report’s findings, including how the lack of transparency hampers voters’ ability to assess judges, legislative oversight, and legal insight.

Then, a panel of experts will discuss what criminal justice data and information is currently published, how it is made accessible to the public, and what is missing. The panel will also discuss legislative efforts to publish court decisions and improve criminal justice data. Particular focus will be given to privacy considerations.
