SUMMARY:Webinar: A Practitioner’s Guide to Evaluating Wrongful/Reversed Conviction Claims
DESCRIPTION:Joel Rudin\, a criminal defense attorney\, and Jabbar Collins\, then a State inmate\, met in 2002 while Jabbar was incarcerated in Greenhaven Correctional Facility serving a 34 years to life sentence for a murder he steadfastly claimed he did not commit.  At the time\, Jabbar was a quintessential jailhouse lawyer\, helping numerous other inmates and winning several their release\, but he let Joel know he was not yet ready to discuss his own conviction.  A few years later\, after completing his reinvestigation of his own case from prison\, Jabbar was ready to discuss it\, having accumulated a remarkable array of evidence undermining every part of the case against him.  Together\, they overcame a denial of their motion to vacate Jabbar’s conviction in state court and\, after four years of litigation\, won an extraordinarily rare grant of federal habeas corpus relief under which any retrial in state court in Brooklyn\, NY\, was barred.  Thereafter Jabbar and Joel successfully litigated Jabbar’s claims for damages for unjust conviction in the NY Court of Claims and for violations of Jabbar’s federal constitutional rights in a federal Section 1983 civil rights action\, recovering a total settlement in the two cases of  $13 million.  But this story did not end with the $13 million settlement:  the Jabbar Collins story is still being written.  Along with the new head of the Brooklyn DA’s Conviction Review Unit\, Professor Collins is now teaching a course at St John’s Law School concerning wrongful convictions while applying for admission to law school.  Join us for a CLE on wrongful convictions from Attorney Rudin and Professor Jabbar Collins. \nPresented by:\nCivil Rights Law Section\n \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nWylie M. Stecklow\, Wylie Stecklow PLLC (Moderator) \nWylie Stecklow is a civil rights attorney in downtown Manhattan. Mr. Stecklow is a past President of the Southern District of New York Chapter of the Federal Bar Association\, past National chair of its Civil Rights Law Section\, and is an adjunct Professor at Fordham Law School (his alma mater).  He is the 2021 recipient of the Sarah T. Hughes Civil Rights Award.   He is a founding member of the National Action Network’s Legal Rights Nights and for the past twenty years\, he has been litigating police policies and practice concerning the constitutional rights of protesters and photographers.  He has litigated 1983 cases involving First Amendment Rights in New York\, Maryland and Iowa and tried constitutional cases to verdict in various state and federal courts.  His firm was retained by the Occupy Wall Street General Assembly in 2011\, where he organized pro bono representation for over 200 Occupy arrestees and has continued to litigate civil rights claims relating to the policing of Occupy.   Currently he is co-counsel to two of the consolidated cases in the litigation in the SDNY\, In Re New York City Policing During Summer 2020 Demonstrations. \nJabbar Collins\, St. Johns Law School \nJabbar Collins is President of Horizon Research Services\, a consulting firm providing legal research and writing services to appellate and civil rights attorneys.  In 1994 Mr. Collins was wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.  He spent the next 16 years of his life there\, teaching himself appellate\, civil\, and post-conviction litigation.  While incarcerated\, Mr. Collins drafted scores of successful New York Freedom of Information law lawsuits\, won a federal habeas corpus petition raising complex ineffective assistance of trial and appellate counsel claims\, and was granted permission by two federal judges to orally argue cases on behalf of two prisoners he assisted.  In 2010\, Mr. Collins\, working with Joel B. Rudin\, who would later hire Mr. Collins as a paralegal\, won a rare unconditional writ of habeas corpus petition dismissing all charges based on egregious prosecutorial misconduct.  Mr. Collins and Mr. Rudin then sued the City and State\, exposing systemic misconduct in the Brooklyn DA’s Office and ultimately winning a $13 million dollar settlement\, at the time one of the highest settlements for a wrongful conviction in New York City history.  Mr. Collins’ legal work following his exoneration has resulted in five other wrongfully convicted men being freed after decades in prison.  Mr. Collins’ case also prompted former Brooklyn DA Ken Thompson to run for office and establish a Conviction Integrity Unit that to this day has freed 28 other wrongfully convicted men.  Mr. Collins is currently an adjunct professor at St. John’s Law School where along with the new Chief of the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Conviction Review Unit\, he teaches Justice Dissected: The Anatomy of a Wrongful Conviction. \n \nJoel B. Rudin\, Law Offices of Joel B. Rudin\, P.C. \nJoel B. Rudin is the principal in a four-attorney criminal defense and plaintiff’s civil rights firm based in Manhattan.  He has won three cases before the U.S. Supreme Court\, numerous Second Circuit decisions expanding the rights of former criminal defendants to recover money damages for police and prosecutorial misconduct\, and numerous seven-figure wrongful conviction settlements\, including $13 million for Jabbar Collins and $15.45 million for William Vasquez. He has been a leader in the movement for prosecutorial accountability\, developing through civil litigation voluminous evidence showing the indifference of local District Attorneys to prosecutorial misconduct and winning leading court decisions holding municipalities liable for such misconduct under federal civil rights law even though the individual prosecutors have personal immunity.  The New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers has awarded him its prestigious Thurgood S. Marshall Award for his work freeing the wrongfully convicted.  He is a graduate of Cornell University (1974) and New York University School of Law (1978). \n  \n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this event is now closed. \nRegistration Fees \n\nFBA Member: $0\nNonmember: $75\n\nLive Captioning: Closed captioning is available for all virtual webcasts. \nCancellation Policy: No refunds will be made for cancellations received after the close of business on April 3\, 2022.
