The Holocaust and the Law
From the Nuremberg Racial Laws to Nazi Death Camps, legislative acts undermined democracy. Legal professionals, including lawyers and judges, were implicated in expropriation of property and genocide. This program will introduce aspects of the consequences of erosion of rule of law and why it matters to legal professionals today.
The presentation will be by Charles DeStefano, Esq. with an introduction by Professor Esser, PhD, JD.
Charles DeStefano, Esq., received his Doctor of Law degree from Pace University School of Law (1986) and his BA from Fordham University (Pre-Law Studies). He interned at the United Nations during college. Over the past 33 years, Charles has represented over 6,000 clients through trials, arbitrations, mediations, or negotiations in all matters involving personal injury. He has been elected to serve as the President of the Staten Island Trial Lawyers Association and to be a member of the Board of Directors of the Richmond County Bar Association. He is the Founder of the Staten Island Trial Lawyers Summer Youth Internship Program. He will introduce the program with photos and letters related to the liberation of Buchenwald subcamp Ohrdruf taken by his uncle Frank LaBella, a combat soldier with the Fourth Armored Tank Division led by General George Patton.
