Happy Friday and welcome back to your Week in Review. This week some exciting things have happened at OJD and we can't wait to tell you about it very soon. Thank you to everyone who requested copies of the Juvenile Codes! We successfully sent out 39 2019 and 2020 codes to our defenders, making space for 2021 and clearing up room in our conference area :D. Let's get this blog started with a message from Timothy Heinle at the School of Government and a job opportunity!
