University of Detroit Mercy School of Law will offer an information session on Monday, Sept. 19 from 4:30-6 p.m. for those on the sex offender registry.

A recent decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit concluded that the Michigan Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) imposes punishment and may not be applied retroactively, 

Although the decision does not take effect immediately and may be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, continued compliance is recommended. 

Anne Yantus, assistant professor of law and director of Clinical Programs at Detroit Mercy Law, will lead the session. She will be joined by Paul Reingold of the Michigan Criminal Law Program at the University of Michigan Law School.

Reingold was an attorney on the case that is the topic of discussion.

The law school is located at 651 E. Jefferson, Detroit. 

Call 313.596.0262 for additional information.
