Aligned with both parts of that mission, CCJR has been proud to partner with the Community Violence Legal Network (CVLN) in a number of ways, including hosting two multidisciplinary convenings: the kickoff to the national Legal Power Series and the first-ever National Legal Conference on Violence Prevention, held in March 2026.</description><author>UBalt Law</author><image><img src="https://www.ubalt.edu/about/newsroom/assets/images/ubalt-law-legal-network-event.jpg" alt="From left, Heather Warnken, Amber Goodwin, CVLN Co-founder, and Robyn Thomas, CVLN Co-founder."/></image><image-cap>From left, Heather Warnken, Amber Goodwin, CVLN Co-founder, and Robyn Thomas, CVLN Co-founder.</image-cap><quote/><quote-name/><quote-info/><tags><tag>Law</tag><tag>School of Law</tag></tags></item>
