Superior Court Judge to Speak on Rights and "Collateral Damage"
Princeton, N.J. -- New Jersey Superior Court Judge Travis L. Francis will give a talk titled "Rights -- Collateral Damage?" at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs on Thursday, April 29, at 4:30 p.m. in Robertson Hall, Bowl 1.
Judge Francis, who sits on the Middlesex County Criminal Court Bench, has held that post since 1992. He was previously a private practitioner in New Brunswick, where his practice included extensive criminal and civil litigation. He has a particular interest in the economic and social consequences of the international drug trade, including the alleged erosion of individual civil liberties and human rights.
Before entering private practice, he was a senior trial attorney for the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, a trial attorney for the Prudential Insurance Company, and an Assistant Deputy Public Defender, criminal defense attorney, in the Middlesex County Public Defender's Office.
His talk is being sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School.
