REMINDER of DEPC and OJPC and CCRC drafting contest: Re-Imagining Second Chances : Improving Ohio’s Re-Entry Provisions
A few weeks ago in this post I noted the on-going drafting contest sponsored by a partnership of the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center (DEPC) at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, the Ohio Justice & Policy Center (OJPC), and the Collateral Consequences Resource Center (CCRC).

About the Contest
With the goal of furthering the ongoing debate of how “second chance” mechanisms can be improved in Ohio, the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center (DEPC) at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law, the Ohio Justice & Policy Center (OJPC), and the Collateral Consequences Resource Center are sponsoring a contest for law students and recent law-school graduates.

In the United States, a candidate becomes president by securing the most electoral votes rather than winning a majority of the national popular vote. Known as the Electoral College, the system allots electors to the 50 states and the District of Columbia largely based on their population.

Below are details of how that might play out.
