The Stanford Law School Salt Lake City Alumni Chapter invites you to have lunch and join Professor and Former Judge Paul Cassell, JD ’84 for a discussion on the U.S. Supreme Court Case Paroline v. United States. The case involves restitution for victims of child pornography. Professor Cassell argued the case last term. In a close 5-4 decision, the Court determined that the existing statute did not permit such restitution. Professor Cassell has now turned his advocacy to the legislative arena to try to remedy the problem and ensure restitution for victims. Approval is pending for one hour of Utah CLE credit.

Alumni and guests are welcome to attend. Registration is $10 and includes lunch. Kindly register by Friday, November 7.
