ACLU attorney Kimberly Buddin has agreed to speak at the ACSOL conference on Friday, September 20. Buddin is senior policy counsel for the justice division of national ACLU.
“Attorney Buddin is a dynamic speaker who is well informed regarding registrants, the challenges they and their families face as well as solutions to those challenges,” stated ACSOL Executive Director Janice Bellucci. “She is a welcome addition to our annual conference.”
Ms. Buddin will make a plenary presentation at the ACSOL conference on Friday starting at 9:20 a.m. The topic of her presentation is the “Rise and Fall of the Registry.”
Attorney Buddin is licensed in Michigan and she specializes in civil rights policy and government affairs. Ms. Buddin previously worked for the ACLU of Michigan on criminal justice reform, immigrants’ rights, racial justice, women’s rights, privacy rights and prisoners’ rights. She currently serves as a commissioner on the Michigan Indigent Defense Commission and teaches public service and civil rights courses as an adjunct professor at Wayne State Law School.
Great job securing this speaker, Janice! I wonder if someone from NYCLU would be interested as well with their recent case regarding banishment zones and proximity restrictions. The more ACLU affiliates involved, the stronger our national reach.
I was present for her NARSOL presentation. She is FANTASTIC, and I encourage everyone to connect to the ACSOL September conference.
