Sudreau Global Justice Institute Featured on The World and Everything In It Podcast

On a recent episode of the podcast The World and Everything in It, hosts Jenny Rough and Nick Eicher discuss accessible justice, focusing on current legal reforms in Uganda and their broader impact in Africa.

Danny DeWalt, vice president and chief of staff at Pepperdine and executive director of Pepperdine's Sudreau Global Justice Institute, is featured in the episode and shares his experience working on legal reforms in Africa, particularly in Uganda. These reforms include the introduction of plea bargaining into the Ugandan criminal justice system to address the significant backlog of cases. This system has helped resolve thousands of cases, however, overcrowded prisons and a shortage of judges still remain a challenge. Throughout the segment, DeWalt emphasized the importance of due process and how access to justice can help people flourish.
