Join the Chicago Council of Lawyers for a timely forum and important conversations examining the growing concern that prosecutorial power may be used to punish political expression, protest, and opposition.
How can the justice system distinguish legitimate law enforcement from politically motivated prosecution? What happens to constitutional rights when speaking out carries the threat of criminal charges? This discussion will explore the consequences for civil liberties, public trust, and the rule of law, ensuring that justice remains independent of political pressure.
We’re pleased to offer this program both in person and online at no cost to attendees, with complimentary lunch provided for in-person guests.
