Marilyn F. Johnson & Hon. Sybil C. Thomas University of Chicago Law School 1111 East 60th Street Chicago, Illinois Our Objective As African-American jurists, we have become overwhelmingly concerned with the increased incidents of youth trauma and violence. Though we often discuss our concerns and potential solutions within the judiciary, we believe that this issue is of such importance that it necessitates the involvement of all segments of our community. Therefore, we are sponsoring this symposium to initiate a conversation with clinicians, educators, parents, youth and the faith-based community, in a collective effort, to develop both alliances and strategies to combat the negative effects of violence.
