Renowned law professor Eric Janus will speak at ACSOL’s third annual conference in Los Angeles on June 14. Professor Janus is a national expert on sexual violence law and policy. He was recently recognized for his lifelong commitment to justice and civil liberties work by the ACLU.
“Professor Janus will share with all conference participants his unique perspective of current laws and policies that affect the daily lives of registrants and their loved ones,” stated ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci.
Professor Janus served as President and Dean of William Mitchell College of Law from 2007-2015. During that period, he initiated and led a successful $25 million campaign, and the school established an Indian Law Program and Center for Law and Business, obtained permission from the American Bar Association to establish the first hybrid online/on-campus J.D. program among ABA-approved law schools, and negotiated an agreement to combine with the Hamline University School of Law to create the Mitchell Hamline School of Law. He was named one of the “25 Most Influential People in Legal Education” by The National Jurist in 2015 and 2016.
Professor Janus’ scholarly focus has been on constitutional and public policy considerations in the development of so-called regulatory approaches to sexual violence prevention. Cornell University Press published his book Failure to Protect: America’s Sexual Predator Laws and the Rise of the Preventive State. His latest book, co-authored with Drs. Robert Prentky and Howard Barbaree, is Sexual Predators: Society, Risk and the Law.
In 2017, he established the Sex Offense Litigation and Policy Resource Center at Mitchell Hamline School of Law, funded by a grant from the Vital Projects Fund. He currently serves as the center’s director in its efforts to provide support for impact litigation and policy-reform work designed to produce constitutional, effective, humane and empirically sound sex offense policies.
If the ACLU ever decided to just become a 3rd political party, I’d vote for them in a heartbeat. I think a lot of republicans would too since they’d never think about touching the second amendment.
In 1998 I contacted ACLU in Milwaukee about my single case . After words I got a letter explaining their purpose and asking for $. County cops arrested me because I’d not been informed of duty yet. I spent five days waiting on bail ( over Xmas) and the case was dropped!
Plain dirty pool.
I dont think the aclu in Texas has done anything for sex offender cases.
They dont even take on retroactive legislation which should be a no brainer as Texas forbids both ex post facto and retroactive civil laws.
I hope they are aware of that saying that starts with “first they came for the Jews, but I wasnt a Jew, so I didnt say anything…”
AO~ There is nothing to initial on the annual registration form in California that talks about visiting another state.
