Professor Julia Simon-Kerr was quoted in a Law360 article, New Rule On Invoking Defendant’s Past Convictions Hits Snag. The article discusses the yearslong effort to make it harder for prosecutors to invoke a criminal defendant’s past convictions. “These procedural rules are so important — we’re trying to achieve justice. We’re trying to make sure that trials are oriented toward truth-seeking,” said Simon-Kerr.
