HASKELL SLAUGHTER'S JONES FEATURED ON ABA PUBLIC CORRUPTION SEMINAR PANEL
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - February 26, 2009 - G. Douglas Jones, an attorney with Haskell Slaughter Young & Rediker, LLC, will be a featured panelist at the "Ethics - Politics - and Public Corruption" conference sponsored by the American Bar Association's Criminal Justice Section at the Alabama State Bar, to be held April 3 at the Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort and Spa in Birmingham. Mr. Jones will serve on a panel on "The Lawyer's Role in the Investigative, Pre-indictment and Pre-trial Stages of a Public Corruption Prosecution" at the conference, which is co-sponsored by Mississippi Bar, the Birmingham Bar Association and the National District Attorneys Association. The panel will examine the work of prosecutors and defense lawyers in all stages leading to a trial, including the charging decision, the choice between bringing a case in state or federal court, the option of leaving it to state civil agencies to address potential wrongdoing, and the defense lawyer's role in influencing those decisions.
