About the Program

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.

You Will Learn

• About practical strategies for informing clients of these long-term ramifications before they accept a plea deal
• How to collaborate with social workers and advocates to mitigate long-term penal consequences
• About insights from a multidisciplinary panel (judge, prosecutor, defender, advocate) to implement holistic defense strategies that address both legal and social needs
 

Who Should Attend

Criminal defense attorneys, public defenders, prosecutors, criminal court judges & magistrates, social workers, case managers, reentry advocates and any attorneys, legal professionals or students who are interested and committed to holistic representation and understanding the “clean slate” landscape.
