From Criminal to Victim: The Transformational Power of the Rule of Law

January 22, 2014 • 12:15 PM • Law School 3043

This event is an information session for students interested in participating in a debate about NC Senate Bill 683, the Safe Harbor Law granting minors immunity from prostitution charges. NC ranks among the top ten states where sex trafficking of minors occur. The landmark Senate Bill 683 changes the status of minors involved in prostitution from criminals to victims of crime, but is not without controversy. NCCASA, LexisNexis, UNC School of Law and the Human Rights Law Society at Duke Law are jointly sponsoring a debate about the transformational power of the rule of law in the context of NC Senate Bill 683. Join us if you are interested in debating or learning more about this topic. Lunch will be provided.
