The next National Advocacy Call on Developing Legislation will be Thursday, October, 19, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. EDT and will feature a discussion on the NACDL/FAMM State Clemency Project. We will be joined by Norman Reimer, Executive Director, NACDL; Mary Price, General Counsel, FAMM; and Alphonso David, Counsel, New York Governor Cuomo. The Project is collaborating with New York State to develop necessary processes and procedures and to provide logistical support enabling pro bono assistance for those seeking clemency. To RSVP for the call, please send a message to advocacynetwork@nacdl.org. Dial-in information will be forwarded to you prior to the call.

NACDL’s State Criminal Justice Network (SCJN), conference call series is entitled National Advocacy Calls on Developing Legislation (NACDL). The teleconferences feature an expert on an issue area and are designed to educate criminal defense lawyers and advocates across the country on a variety of criminal justice issues. Key to the calls is informing participants of any legislation or litigation pending that seeks progressive reform or supports executive action on an issue.
