{Welcome to the Racial and Ethnic Disparity Commission}
The Commission on Racial and Ethnic Disparity in the Criminal Justice System was created by the Connecticut state legislature in 2000 (Public Act 00-154). The stated purpose of that act was "to establish a commission dedicated to eliminating racial and ethnic disparity in the criminal justice system." The Commission's membership and charge are set out in section 51-10c of the Connecticut General Statutes.
The Chair of the Commission, Justice Lubbie Harper, Jr., has been confirmed as the most recent addition to the Connecticut Supreme Court after being nominated by Governor Dannel P. Malloy.
