The Justice Initiative will host an open house today from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. to celebrate its new location at 606 W. Main St., Ste. 100, in downtown Knoxville. The initiative was founded by District Public Defender Mark Stephens with a mission to research criminal justice practices and systems; promote best practices; engage in education and outreach; and advocate for indigent individuals accused of crimes. The initiative is also celebrating the launch of its Holistic Legal Incubator, which will focus on training new attorneys and social workers to offer meaningful and dignified assistance to clients through inter-professional collaboration.
