NARSOL Conference Call Reminder

Tomorrow, April 25th, beginning at 7:00 p.m. eastern time, is the NARSOL in Action conference call. This call will focus on Murphy v. Raoul, a recent decision by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, which found that the state is trampling the constitution by failing to release those who have served their full sentences. You can read the full 61-page opinion here. 

Our special guest for this segment will be Adele Nicholas.

Adele Nicholas is a Chicago-based civil rights attorney who has extensively litigated issues concerning registration and related collateral consequences in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Among her recent notable cases are Hoffman v. Village of Pleasant Prairie, in which the court enjoined enforcement of a municipal residency restriction that sought to force registrants to move out of the Village, and Winter v. Schmitz, in which the court prohibited the state of Illinois from labeling a registrant as a “sexual predator” based on a misdemeanor conviction.   

At the conclusion of the discussion about Murphy v. Raoul, we will have an hour of Can They Do That? followed by Ask the NARSOL Board. We will be joined by King Alexander, a supervising felony without parole attorney in the Calcasieu Parish Public Defender’s Office. This is your opportunity to ask a veteran attorney whether or not something can be done legally or if it potentially violates the constitution. The final hour will have several members of the board of directors on the call, so this is your opportunity to ask about our work.   

At some point during the call we will have a drawing for a free registration for our June conference. If you would like to enter the drawing, we will provide a phone number to those who sign up, which will facilitate entry. You will be given instructions for entering, and you will receive a contestant number. During the call we will have the drawing; you must be on the call to win. 

The new phone number is 605 313-5169, followed by 957605#. You may call in directly with a telephone or, if you have a speaker and microphone or a headset with a mic, you may access the call through your computer by going to https://www.freeconferencecallhd.com/dialer and following the on-screen directions for inputting the number and the code.
