“Conti-Cook, who is thirty-eight, has long focused on ways to provide greater transparency on police misbehavior. Her legal efforts, she said, were inspired by her father, Jack Cook, a former college professor who was active with the Catholic Worker Movement and who served two years in prison after he refused military induction during the Vietnam War.”
