Abstract

The symposium examines the long-term effects of involvement in the criminal justice system, focusing on collateral consequences and voter disenfranchisement. It emphasizes the need for both prosecutors and defense attorneys to address these consequences early in criminal cases, as they significantly impact individuals' lives beyond direct legal penalties. The discussion highlights the importance of holistic approaches to mitigate these effects and advocates for systemic changes to reduce disparities and support successful reintegration into society.
