But she had been elected less than a year earlier. George Floyd\u2019s death hadn\u2019t kindled worldwide protests. And no one had heard of COVID-19.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, we\u2019ll ask: How is Deberry\u2019s reform campaign unfolding? How has the larger debate about justice in America touched Durham\u2019s judiciary? How has the pandemic affected the workings of the courthouse?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That\u2019s just the beginning. We\u2019ll also write about important cases and hearings, and show candid, powerful moments that reveal the full spectrum of human drama to be found in courtrooms and corridors. The courthouse is aswirl with important, interesting stories that often go uncovered. We aim to share as many of them\u00a0as we can.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some of Duke\u2019s best journalists will be on the case. They include student editors Michaela Towfighi and Chris Kuo and reporters Grace Abels, Lilly Clark, Daniel Egitto, Nicole Kagan, Mia Meier, and Milla Surjadi.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">My colleague Bill Adair started The 9th Street Journal in 2018 to give our journalism students a chance to cover local news in one of the country\u2019s most socially and politically vibrant regions. Through this latest chapter of the Courthouse Project, we hope to hold government officials to their own high standards and deepen your understanding of how justice is done in Durham.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo at top: The 9th Street Journal&#8217;s Courthouse Project team: Standing (left to right): Milla Surjadi, Grace Abels, Nicole Kagan, Chris Kuo, Michaela Towfighi, Daniel Egitto, Lilly Clark, and Mia Meier.
