DESCRIPTION: Join the ACS South Florida Lawyer Chapter and the National Juvenile Defender Center for a cocktail reception hosted at Baker McKenzie. Criminal defense and civil rights attorney Jarrett Adams will share his personal experiences, both as an attorney and exoneree, giving a first-hand account of the justice system’s failure to protect young people’s rights, including the critical shortage of experienced defense lawyers available to represent youth facing delinquency and criminal charges.\n\nFeaturing:\n \n \nJarrett Adams, Attorney, The Law Offices of Jarrett Adams, PLLC\n \n \n \n\n\n\nJarrett Adams was wrongfully convicted of sexual assault at age 17 and sentenced to 28 years in a maximum-security prison. After serving nearly 10 years and filing multiple appeals, Adams was exonerated with the assistance of the Wisconsin Innocence Project. Adams used the injustice he endured as inspiration to become an advocate for the underserved and often uncounted. After law school, he completed a public interest law fellowship with Judge Ann Claire Williams on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. This is the same court that reversed Adams’s conviction because of his trial lawyer’s constitutional deficiencies. Adams’s remarkable story has captured both local and national media attention. \n\n\nAs the nation’s leading progressive legal organization, ACS is committed to ensuring that all aspects of our events are accessible and enjoyable for all.
