TL;DR

Ousted San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, known for his progressive policies, has been named the executive director of UC Berkeley School of Law's Criminal Law & Justice Center. Boudin, who was voted out of office in a recall election in June, plans to conduct research and advocate for criminal justice reform.
