    Webinar- CLE Pass Eligible
    Tuesday, Mar 31 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

    A criminal conviction is often just the beginning of a lifetime of hidden penalties. While the court closes the case file, the "invisible sentence" of collateral consequences—housing bans, employment barriers, and loss of benefits—begins. Join us in this second installment of a three-part segment to learn from a criminal judge, an assistant state’s attorney, an assistant public defender, and a public defender social worker/advocate. Our expert panel will provide actionable tools you can use to effectively advise your clients pre-plea about the direct, life-altering consequences of a conviction on their immediate future.
