Join us for an exceptional night! The Hon. Barnett E. Hoffman, recently retired as the Presiding Judge of the criminal division in Middlesex County, has presided over hundreds of cases, including more capital (death penalty) cases than any other judge in the state. During his long tenure on the bench, he became an expert on homicides and sexual assault cases, even teaching the trial of sexual assault crimes to other Superior Court Judges at the statewide Judicial College.
Judge Hoffman will discuss the details of crime and procedure writers should know-- illustrating with a few war stories along the way-- to help us create courtroom scenes that have drama and tension without straining credibility.
Be sure to sign up early-- You won't want to miss it!
This dinner program will be held at: Tumulty's Pub 361 George Street New Brunswick, NJ The cost is $30 in advance and $35 at the door.
