Tune in to a webinar on December 3 for an overview of New York’s sex offense laws and the harsh consequences of a sex offense conviction. The program, organized by the New York City Bar Association SORA Working Group and Committee on Criminal Justice Operations, will provide a broad overview of the problems created by the Sex Offender Registration Act, the Sex Assault Reform Act, and New York State’s civil commitment laws. Among other things, we will cover the Alice-in-Wonderland interplay between sex offender registration risk determinations and child pornography statutes. Distinguished speakers include Al Rosenthal, Denise Fabiano, Bruce Harris, Vernon Jones, Zachary Margulis-Ohnuma, and Jeff Rothman. The program is geared at attorneys and members of the community who do not specialize in sex offense laws. All are welcome. Free for City Bar members and $15 for all others (call our office if the fee is an issue as a limited number of sponsored slots may be available). Go to the New York City Bar website to register.
