The American Criminal Justice system has finally recognized, with strong help from the U.S. President, Barack Obama, the errors of its Criminal Justice System. This comes after decades of unfair prejudice and discrimination against a significant portion of the U.S. population. President Obama has always declared that changes were desperately needed. Recently, President Obama was able to make the necessary changes and did so quickly. As a result, a Drug Policy model was immediately launched throughout the United States of America and encouraged throughout the world, especially through our allies. The National Drug Control Strategy was created, allowing an expansion of treatments and assistance needed by some of the convicts. These treatments are now made available for those needing treatment. Current policies throughout the 50 states of America have begun to modify their criminal systems. President Obama’s plan to reform the National Criminal Justice System may have seemed, to some, to be folly. However, Obama’s leadership has led to several significant changes and reunification of some families. Further, The Justice System has vowed to discontinue profiling, another significant step to fairness within the system. This will be a large stride toward fair sentencing and a safer environment within the American Justice System.

소개
전북대학교 동북아법연구소는 동북아법에 관한 국내외의 이론과 실제를 연구하고 교육하며, 그 결과를 발표하여 동북아법에 대한 이해의 증진과 동북아의 법률문화발전에 기여하기 위한 목적으로 2006년 7월 설립되었다.
서해안시대의 중심지역을 표방한 전라북도의 지리적 여건과 동북아시아의 여러 국가와의 인적 물적 교류가 확대되면서 그에 따른 여러 가지 법률문제가 발생됨에 따라 동북아시아의 지역적 특성을 고려한 법제도의 연구와 이들 국가와 거래하는 전북지역 자치단체와 기업에 대한 실질적 교육의 필요성이 대두되었다.
이러한 요청에 따라 법제도의 연구와 교육을 담당할 기관으로 전북지역 거점국립대학인 전북대학교가 동북아법연구소를 설립하게 되었고 전북 지방자치단체와 기업에 대한 교육과 자문프로그램을 운영하고 있다.
