SUMMARY:Massachusetts Chapter & Civil Rights Law Section: [VIRTUAL] A Conversation About Police Violence and Police Misconduct Litigation in Boston
DESCRIPTION:The Massachusetts Chapter of the Federal Bar Association\nand the Civil Rights Law Section invite you to virtually attend \nA Conversation About Police Violence\nand Police Misconduct Litigation in Boston\nGeorge Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, Elijah McClain – sadly\, they and countless others have become household names. Addressing police violence is now at the forefront of the national conversation. Boston has not had major publicized incidents in recent days. It was not always so. \nOn January 25\, 1995\, Boston Police Officers beat a black man to within an inch of his life. They were chasing a murder suspect\, and in the dark\, attacked one of their own\, who was dressed in plain clothes. Upon discovering their error\, they ran away. No officer was indicted. In 1998\, the victim prevailed against individual officers in a civil action tried before the Honorable William J. Young. The City of Boston then settled for seven figures shortly before empanelment of a separate trial to determine its independent liability. Author Dick Lehr\, who was with the Boston Globe Spotlight team at the time\, published a gripping account of the full story in 2009: “The Fence” (Harper Collins). Dick Lehr is now a Professor of Journalism at Boston University. \nThe Massachusetts Chapter of the Federal Bar Association and the Civil Rights Law Section are pleased to sponsor a conversation about police violence and the current state of police litigation in Boston with Judge Young\, Professor Lehr\, pre-eminent practitioners Howard Friedman\, Esq.\, plaintiff’s police misconduct attorney\, and Erika Reis\, Esq.\, Sr. Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of Boston. The panel will look back at “The Fence” for lessons learned and discuss the current and future outlook for these pressing and timely issues. Attorney Rob Sinsheimer will moderate the panel. We hope you will join us and look forward to seeing you there. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration Fees \n\nRegistration is Complimentary \n\nClick here to RSVP
