AuthorChatsRadio

Hosted by attorney Elizabeth Kelley, AuthorChats interviews authors about their recent works.  In this episode, she talks with Jenny Roberts, professor of law at the Washington College of Law at American University, one of the co-authors of "Collateral Consequences of Criminal Convictions: Law, Policy, and Practice."  As Norman Reimer, the Executive Director of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers notes in the Preface: "No longer can any person involved in the criminal justice system ignore the vast array of restrictions and disqualifications that are triggered by a criminal conviction.  Judges, defense lawyers, prosecutors, probation officials, and, of course, accused persons themselves must recognize that much more is at stake in a criminal prosecution than the court-imposed sentence."  http://www.elizabethkelleylaw.com.
