Restoration of Civil Rights Project - Florida Law Review is working with the Restoration of Civil Rights Project by flyering for their workshops. The flyering dates will be Friday, February 27th and Friday, March 20th.

Information about the project from the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition website: Florida is one of only three states that strip all individuals with past felony convictions of their civil rights, including their fundamental right to vote, even after completion of their sentences. Close to one million Floridians are affected by this civil rights ban. Floridians with past felony convictions lose not only the right to vote, but also the right to serve on a jury and to hold public office. Restoration of civil rights is also necessary to obtain certain occupational licenses.
