About the Course:
A criminal defence lawyer’s work for a client often ends once the court case is done. For clients sentenced to a term of imprisonment, however, the battle for freedom is not yet over. They may be facing months or years of navigating the correctional system – something that can be a minefield for the unprepared. In this webinar, two experienced prison lawyers, Eric Purtzki and Talia Magder, will discuss how criminal lawyers can help set their clients up for success in the correctional system and avoid missteps that could undermine their clients’ interests down the road.
