Discussion topics include: Who has had the biggest impact on how you practice law? How and why? It can be someone who inspired you to be better or someone who made you realize you did not want to practice a certain way. For the more experienced attorneys, please share what you think distinguishes a good attorney from a great attorney, and the biggest mistakes you see young attorneys making. We would also love to hear some things you wish you had learned early on in your career.

Please join us for the December meeting of the NYWBA Human Trafficking Committee. Taina Bien Amie, the Executive Director of Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, will present on the history of the Equality Model (a legal framework where the selling of sex is decriminalized, but buyers and promoters are still held accountable) and provide us with a global perspective. Joining Taina in the presentation will be a trafficking survivor who will explain why this model is so important to people with lived experience as survivors of the sex trade. The Equality Model is a major piece of this committee’s legislative agenda for the year.
We are excited to be welcoming several new members of the committee. We will also discuss other pieces of the committee’s legislative agenda, start planning our CLEs and educational and outreach panels related to human trafficking. In addition to committee members, we welcome any WBASNY members who would like to learn more about the Equality Model or who may be interested in joining our committee to attend this meeting.
