An Evening with Alex Charns (Benefiting LEARN!)

LEARN is delighted to support and help publicize the fourth in a series of Community Conversations sponsored by Friday Musings in partnership with the Livonia Historical Society.

Alex Charns, Bentley c/o 1974, leading defender of the Constitution and author of multiple books, returns to his hometown for an evening at Orchid Brunch on September 29 at 7 PM. Mr. Charns has generously decided that proceeds from any book sales during the evening will go to LEARN.

Mr. Charns lists some of his vast legal experience on his LinkedIn profile:

"During the past 40 plus years of law practice in Durham, I've had lengthy and complicated criminal jury trials raising cutting edge social and scientific issues such as race-based traffic stops and photo line-ups tainted by cross-racial identification problems.

I have litigated against the FBI, sued a sitting District Attorney and gone up against police departments, company police and sheriffs; published a book about the FBI and the U.S. Supreme Court; helped argue a clemency case that got a man off Death Row; written scores of appellate briefs and argued state and federal cases; defended people criminally accused of assaulting or resisting police officers, charges brought after the folks were beaten by the police; and represented Durham police employees who were falsely accused of crimes and then wiretapped by their own department."

Please respond "Going" to this event if you'd like to hear Mr. Charns speak on his lengthy civil rights career and pick up a book to support LEARN!
