 Attorney General, State of New Jersey 

On October 14, 2020, RIPPAC hosted A Virtual Conversation with Hon. Gurbir Grewal, Attorney General, State of New Jersey 

As a national leader on state/federal litigation and a leading authority on cybercrime, and police-community relations, as well as the first Sikh-American to ever be a state’s attorney general, he should be a fascinating voice for our campus community and the general public to hear. 

The program consisted of a 30-minute one-on-one interview followed by Q&A with questions from the audience.
