Join us in Bloomington on Friday, Feb. 26 for this informative program, which is presented by the ISBA Criminal Justice Section and co-sponsored by the ISBA Standing Committee on Corrections and Sentencing.

With intricate state firearm laws and complicated sentencing enhancements, it’s imperative that today’s criminal practitioner be conscious of the impact weapon offenses can leave on their clients. This program examines Second Amendment violations from three perspectives – the defense attorney, the judge, and the Department of Corrections – and includes a discussion on what defendants and attorneys can expect from the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Topics include type of offenses, gun-related disabilities, policies that impact inmates, Firearm Owners Identification card violations, enhancements to existing criminal statutes, early release, work release, boot camp, immigration issues, education credits, sentencing calculations, prison conditions/expectations, and options while serving time. The program is designed for criminal defense attorneys, assistant state’s attorneys, and assistant public defenders with all levels of experience.
