Sponsored by BLSA
The Black Law Student Association would like to encourage everyone to attend our “Stop-and-Frisk” panel discussion. Our confirmed panelist are: Professor Emily Garcia Uhrig (McGeorge); Professor Gabriel J. Chin (King Hall); Professor Linda Carter (McGeorge); and Keith Staten Esq. (Criminal Defense Attorney). This panel discussion is aimed at bringing to light the human element of a very popular criminal procedure doctrine known as “Terry Stops.” It is a very hot topic right now in the legal field, especially in places like New York, Philadelphia and Chicago. In the summer of 2013, a district federal judge dealt directly with the issue of stop-and-frisk protocol implemented by the New York Police Department–which the case has stirred discourse on the topic on a national scale. It is the hope of BLSA that McGeorgians are aware of the topic and that we continually permeate this discourse in our respected circles.

Lastly, this event is sponsored by Themis. A representative of Themis will be making a presentation at the beginning of the event advertising and explaining their services and products. There will be food!
