Berkeley’s School of Law has hired disgraced former prosecutor Chesa Boudin as executive director of its new criminal justice center. As the district attorney of San Francisco, Boudin made his mark as the “reform”-minded prosecutor, pushing leniency for even violent criminals. San Francisco voters got so sick of it that they ousted Boudin in what became the first recall of a district attorney in the city’s history.
Berkeley will pay Boudin $210,000 a year to lead the criminal justice center, which will “provide support for teaching, research, and practice in criminal legal reform ... and tackle projects to address foundational problems — including structural inequities related to poverty and racism.”
