CIC Team

Our consultants have lived experience with the criminal legal system and provide invaluable feedback and guidance about CIC's advocacy and work.

Our student research fellows guide the direction of CIC, conduct research on issues relating to parental incarceration, and often pursue careers involving social justice or the criminal legal system.

CIC is pleased to host an outstanding team of 2026 summer research fellows. The focus of this group's work will be issues related to pregnant women and children living with their parents in prisons and immigration detention facilities throughout the world. Our research fellows will support and shape our international advocacy efforts.

The Minnesota Justice Foundation (MJF) Law School Public Service Program connects students at Mitchell Hamline, the University of Minnesota, and St. Thomas to pro bono legal opportunities.
