About This Course
The impact of COVID-19 is being felt in areas that you might not expect, including that of prison sentences. This CLE course, presented by renowned attorneys Benjamin Brafman and Jeffrey Schwartz, will explain how to move for a reduced prison sentence based on COVID-19.
The course will explain the various related provisions and requirements including Reduction in Sentence (RIS), Exhaustion Requirement, and the Extraordinary and Compelling Reasons Requirement. The specifics of a release plan and how to evaluate and ensure public safety when prisoners are released will be discussed. Relevant waivers and the applications forms and processes for requesting a reduced sentence will also be reviewed.
