Professor Brian Lowery talks with Loretta Lynch, the nation’s first female African American attorney general. They discuss what it would take to reimagine community policing and what she learned about peace and reconciliation during her experience advising the International Criminal Tribunal in Rwanda in charge of prosecuting those responsible for the 1994 genocide.
Justice in America has never been blind. From slavery and lynchings, to mass incarceration and police shootings, American society has undervalued Black lives. What will it take for America to live up to its principles of liberty and justice for all?
Loretta E. Lynch served as the U.S. Attorney General from 2015-2017, where she was appointed by President Barack Obama. As Attorney General, Ms. Lynch oversaw more than 100,000 employees across numerous agencies and offices. She also supervised the DOJ’s major litigating divisions, including Antitrust, Civil, Civil Rights, Criminal, Environment and Natural Resources, and Tax.
Ms Lynch built on her career in the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York where she rose through the ranks before being named U.S. Attorney of that office in 1999 by President Bill Clinton and being reappointed in 2010 by President Obama. Her office prosecuted major terrorism, fraud and corruption cases. In the wake of the global financial crisis, she supervised the investigations of and subsequent high-value settlements with a number of global banks stemming from the banks’ involvement in the mortgage securities market, as well as in a settlement with a global bank related to the Bank Secrecy Act.
In between appointments, Ms. Lynch’s private practice has focused on commercial litigation, white-collar criminal defense and corporate compliance issues and more recently on government and internal investigations and on high-stakes litigation and regulatory matters.
Ms. Lynch also served on the Board of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and was Special Counsel to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
