The Berkeley Center for Criminal Justice (BCCJ) has named Andrea Russi its new Executive Director. Russi, who was serving as BCCJ’s Associate Director, previously spent nearly eight years as a federal prosecutor in Los Angeles and argued more than 20 cases before the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. She replaces BCCJ founding Executive Director David Onek, who will stay on at the center as a part-time Senior Fellow and produce a series of Criminal Justice Conversations Podcast, a joint production of BCCJ and the Berkeley School of Journalism. Also, longtime National Center for Crime and Delinquency President Barry Krisberg has joined BCCJ as a Distinguished Senior Fellow and Lecturer in Residence.
