Click here to RSVP for this meeting Time & Place Tuesday, May 13, 2008 12:15 pm Boston Bar Association 16 Beacon Street Sponsors Senior Lawyers Section Litigation Section Civil Rights & Civil Liberties Section Solo & Small Firm Section Please join Juliane Balliro, WolfBlock, and Victor Garo, two of the attorneys who secured a $101.75 million judgment against the federal government in the malicious prosecution case of Limone v. United States, 497 F. Supp. 2d 143 (D. Mass. 2007), appeal pending, as they discuss the legal and personal issues that they confronted in litigating it. Background: Nearly 40 years ago, four alleged organized crime figures were convicted of murder based upon the false testimony of an FBI informant. Of the four of them, two were sentenced to death. Two died in prison, and two others lived long enough to see their convictions vacated. After a decades-long effort and a 22-day bench trial before the Honorable Nancy Gertner, their attorneys obtained civil relief for them. The Senior Lawyers Section addresses professional and other subjects of interest to lawyers over 55 years old, or with 25 years or more of practice, with a focus on addressing and identifying issues which are or will be relevant to their careers. In addition, the Section hosts presentations with leading speakers on current legal issues, provides input to the BBA concerning public policy positions and publicizes pro bono opportunities. Most programs occur during regularly scheduled lunches. |
