The Counselors
November 17, 2021
6 p.m. Presentation | 7:30 p.m. Public reception

The Dole Institute of Politics is proud to debut The Counselors, an engaging series featuring two advocates arguing either side of an important national issue. In a cross between a courtroom trial and a debate, the two counselors will present their opposing arguments and call two expert witnesses each to help build their case.

Focusing on criminal justice reform, the theme for our November program is “Resolved: Cash bail will not be required for individuals who are not a flight risk or dangerous.”

The counselors for "Resolved" will be Edward C. Duckers, partner at Stoel Rives LLP and head of the firm's Litigation Practice, and Pedro L. Irigonegaray, attorney and partner at Irigonegaray, Turney, & Revenaugh.

Today in the United States, six out of every 10 people in jail are currently awaiting trial without having actually been convicted of a crime. In 2018, the bipartisan FIRST STEP Act was signed into law, creating legislation that would improve fairness in sentencing of federal crimes, reduce recidivism and promote public safety.

At a time when a range of experts are calling for additional criminal justice reform, The Counselors fall program aims to educate on both sides of the argument.

The Counselors series is consistent with the mission of the Dole Institute of Politics – to promote political and civic participation as well as civil discourse in a bi-partisan, balanced manner – and is made possible through a grant from the Koch Family Foundation.

Newest addition: Bring Your Own Chair
[https://mcusercontent.com/971c9a61bc896e4077645661a/images/286bde8d-4892-aa82-6fac-a7050aa6a41f.jpg]

“If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair.”
-Shirley Chisholm

The Bring Your Own Chair project is inspired by Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm’s words and lifetime of work to promote a more inclusive democracy. Chisholm was the first black woman elected to Congress in 1968 and the first black candidate to run for the presidential nomination of a majority party.

A new addition to Bring Your Own Chair comes from Jafiya Birdling of VanGo, a Lawrence, Kansas, art-based social service agency that employs young artists. Titled "My Roots," Jafiya's chair was created to celebrate Michele L. Watley's fall Dole Fellowship.

"This art piece is a blend of black artistry and justice. Ideas pertaining to music and nature being intertwined with black culture. My seat at the table showcases the black woman and her afro being a representation of the black struggle and a pillar of support for the environment around her, which is infused with cool designs and visuals of my feelings toward music. All in all, this is what I want to bring to the table."
-Jafiya Birdling
