Inn examines what to do when a guilty client proclaims innocence
Chuck Otey's Pro Bono Barrister
When the Kings County chapter of the American Inns of Court gathers March 31 for its regular CLE-accredited session, a distinguished panel — led by Appellate Division Justice Sylvia Hinds-Radix and Paul Weitz — will demonstrate a lawyer’s options when a client in a criminal case vacillates on a plea proposal.
Titled “But Wait: I’m Actually Innocent,” a randomly assembled drama troupe — also composed of Hon. Barry Kamins, Michael Fishbein, Sara J. Gozo, Marc Held, Susan Ianelli, Jonathan Klein, Susan B. Master and Maria Morano — begins its performance at 6 p.m.
Inn Administrator Lucinda DiSalvo reminds all members that, keeping up with the inn’s collegiality theme, there will be a “very delicious buffet” starting at 5:30 p.m.
