Reforming Criminal Justice in Alabama

What does it mean to seek justice through the lens of Christian faith? Matt Martens, author of Reforming Criminal Justice: A Christian Proposal, will delve into this critical question during his upcoming talk at Samford University.

Martens, a trial lawyer, former federal prosecutor, seminary graduate, and legal ethics professor, has spent his career navigating the complexities of law and faith. He brings his unique expertise to bear on the challenges of reforming the criminal justice system in ways that honor Christian values.

Martens’ writing has appeared in prominent publications such as The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post, and he has been a sought-after speaker at universities nationwide. An active member of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., Martens is committed to bridging the gap between legal practice and theological principles.

This free event, hosted by Appleseed and Cumberland School of Law, will take place on Thursday, January 23, at 6:30 pm in Reid Chapel at Samford University. It promises to be a rich and engaging conversation about how faith can shape our approach to justice.
