The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery. That is what history tells us.
It reads, “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except for punishment
for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist
within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” Seems
simple enough. But the exception is not insignificant. And to many people,
it is very significant. This CLE will include a screening of Ava DuVernay’s
new documentary “13th,” which is the only documentary to ever open the
New York Film Festival.
Since its debut at the 2016 festival, the documentary has aired on Netflix
to critical acclaim. It will form a dynamic backdrop for a discussion by
the Bench and the Bar about important issues confronting the criminal
justice system and race relations. Following the movie, we will have a thought-provoking panel
share their views of the issues raised in the movie, as well as to engage the audience in a further
discussion. Please join us for this unique and meaningful event.
Moderator: Judge William Koch
Panel: Justice Anne McKeig, Judge Daniel Moreno, Johannes Widmalm-Delphonse, Scholastica Baker
