Restorative Justice
Marquette University Law School established the Restorative Justice Initiative in 2004 under the leadership of Janine P. Geske, distinguished professor of law and former justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, in order to help support victims and communities in the process of healing from the effects of crime. With Professor Geske’s retirement from the full-time faculty in 2014, the RJI has been combined with the Law School’s other academic programs.
