Apr 17, 2026 4:00 PM | Organization: Project Rebound In recognition of Fair Chance Month, Project Rebound at California State University San Marcos will host Beyond the Sentence: How Law and Education Shape Second Chances, a panel discussion exploring the realities of reentry, the collateral consequences of conviction, and the role that law and education play in expanding—or restricting—opportunity. Celebrated annually in April, Fair Chance Month focuses on removing barriers for individuals with criminal records to support successful reintegration into society. It raises awareness about the lasting impact of conviction records and promotes reforms such as “Clean Slate” laws designed to seal records and expand access to employment, housing, and professional licensing Fair Chance Month 2026 Panel 2 1 . This timely conversation will feature voices with lived experience of incarceration, legal professionals, and leaders working in the reentry and criminal justice reform communities, including: Dr. James M. Binnall, Professor & Executive Director, Project Rebound, CSU Long Beach Jason Bell, Executive Director, Project Rebound, San Francisco State University & Director of Programs, CSU Project Rebound Consortium Colleen Murphy, President & Co-Founder, System Impacted Law Student Association Lauren Tyler, Vice President & Co-Founder, System Impacted Law Student Association Fair Chance Month 2026 Panel 2 1 Panelists will explore the structural challenges individuals face after incarceration, including employment barriers that range from entry-level retail positions to licensed professions such as attorneys and licensed clinical social workers. The discussion will examine how governing bodies—including the State Bar, the Board of Behavioral Sciences, and the Department of Social Services—can create additional hurdles for individuals seeking professional licensure, even after completing their sentences and pursuing higher education. By centering both lived experience and professional expertise, this event aims to foster dialogue about equity, public policy, and the transformative power of education. The panel will highlight the critical work being done across California to create more inclusive pathways into higher education and professional careers, while challenging systems that continue to impose lifelong consequences. All students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to attend and engage in this important Fair Chance Month conversation.
