The U.S. legal system maintains a centuries-long tradition of legal protections and precedent. Yet, recent headlines have revealed serious examples of “prosecutorial misconduct” — conduct which violates court rules or ethical standards of law practice — that have resulted in stunning miscarriages of justice.

This Feb. 22 public forum co-sponsored with Seton Hall Law School will feature legal scholars discussing prosecutorial misconduct close to home.

Moderator Paula Franzese, Seton Hall University’s Peter W. Rodino Professor of Law, is one of the country's leading experts in government ethics.

Stay tuned for details on speakers, times – admission free/registration required.
