Bail Reform Litigation: Past, Present, and Future

Bail reform is sweeping the country as jurisdictions enact reforms to prevent pretrial detention solely on the basis of inability to pay a set bail amount. Much of this reform has been spurred by successful litigation efforts on behalf of those detained.
