The NYPD and New York Prosecutors have begun to increasingly use allegations based on gang databases, gang intelligence, and information association with "crews" to bring criminal charges. This CLE will help defense attorneys to anticipate and challenge allegations based on "gang" or "crew" allegiance and how to effectively represent clients in the face of such charges. The course will be facilitated by CUNY School of Law Associate Professor K. Babe Howell.

This two-credit course will offer 1.0 Professional Practice credit and 1.0 Skills credit.

Please note registration is required for all CLE programs. The cost of the program is $50 and financial aid is available.

Course sign-in will begin at 6:00PM and the program will begin promptly at 6:30PM.
