Product Description
There are many consequences of conviction that can drastically impact your client's livelihood, privacy, and even his or her freedom. Judges, prosecutors, defenders and defendants often are unaware of the collateral effects of criminal offenses. A judgment or admission of guilt, admission to facts sufficient to warrant a finding of guilt―or sometimes, just the existence of an outstanding warrant―may have a devastating impact on a defendant's employment, home, transportation, education, family, citizenship and quality of life.
Crime and Consequence is full of alerts and practical pointers as to how to avoid or minimize the many consequences of criminal conduct and conviction. Guidance is offered on such practical matters as: how a guilty plea can impact one's housing eligibility; how firearms license holders can be retroactively disqualified by changes in the firearms laws; the discretionary authority of the RMV to act pursuant to a court-ordered suspension of a driver's license; how the concept of reasonable force applies to the collection of DNA samples; deportability of an alien based on multiple charges arising out of a "multiple scheme"; how criminal charges can impact the outcome of a university's disciplinary proceedings; when a revise and revoke motion can be used to lessen the draconian impact of a conviction. A must-have for anyone who represents or prosecutes persons charged with crimes.
