You are cordially invited to join us for a lunchtime discussion on civil asset forfeiture reform. On January 16th Attorney General Eric Holder issued an order curbing the Department of Justice's Equitable Sharing Program. Do his reforms adequately address the concerns over the abuse of civil asset forfeiture laws? Did he go too far, or not far enough? Please join us over the lunch hour for a discussion with three experts in the field.
Featuring:
- Darpana Sheth, Attorney, Institute for Justice
- Kanya Bennett, Legislative Counsel, American Civil Liberties Union
- David B. Smith, Partner, Smith & Zimmerman PLLC, and former DOJ Prosecutor
- Bill Piper, Director, Office of National Affairs, Drug Policy Alliance
There is no cost to attend this event.
Space is limited, please RSVP to Peter.Bisbee@fed-soc.org to confirm your attendence.
