Prosecutor Ethics and Misconduct to be Focus of Upcoming Conference

WASHINGTON / June 19, 2013 – An upcoming conference will highlight problems of prosecutorial misconduct and bias in the criminal justice system. The conference will be held Saturday, June 22 at 901 15th Street, NW in Washington DC. The conference is sponsored by the non-profit SAVE Center for Prosecutor Integrity.

The conference comes as bipartisan groups in the Senate and House of Representatives have begun to address the dual concerns of over-criminalization and over-prosecution. Several bills addressing the problems are expected to be introduced in upcoming weeks.

The conference schedule features victims of prosecutor misconduct, a former magistrate, and others. Presenters will be available for media interviews.

The conference is free to media representatives. The conference schedule is shown below. Other details can be seen here: http://www.saveservices.org/dvlp/annual-conference-2013/
