And with that, our symposium is over! There have been great discussions and starting points for conversations.

[Mercer Law Review @MercerLRev]

"If everybody is answering the questions, you have less of a problem."

[Mercer Law Review @MercerLRev]

"Everybody has a cause in this revolution."

[Mercer Law Review @MercerLRev]

She says that until we answer those questions, we can't honestly answer the issues that come up in the criminal justice system.

[Mercer Law Review @MercerLRev]

Judge Colvin suggests that the real criminal justice revolution has to start by asking "Who are we?" and "What do we value?"

[Mercer Law Review @MercerLRev]

Traditional changes to criminal procedure have been "more heartwarming than helpful."

[Mercer Law Review @MercerLRev]

He says that this is particularly important because the trends in criminal law have traditionally hovered between overt and covert racism.

[Mercer Law Review @MercerLRev]

Prof. Tibbs suggests that defense counsel needs to rethink traditional practice rules, like advising defendants against taking the stand.

[Mercer Law Review @MercerLRev]

Judge Colvin responded: "A bend in the road is not an end of the road unless you fail to make the turn."

[Mercer Law Review @MercerLRev]

Trend trading: "Follow the trend until the bend at the end."

[Mercer Law Review @MercerLRev]

Prof. Tibbs compared the legal system to being a stockbroker, esp. with the inherent uncertainty and the constant innovation.
