Jackie Arango will speak at "When the Sentence Ends: Legal and Economic Barriers to Reentry," a CLE program hosted by Ladies Empowerment & Action Program (LEAP) at Akerman's Miami office.

The program examines the real-world challenges individuals face following incarceration and the critical role legal professionals play in supporting long-term stability. For people navigating reentry, routine legal outcomes — evictions, fines, criminal records, and loss of financial access — can determine whether someone achieves stability or cycles back into crisis. Attendees will gain practical insight into how legal systems interact with housing access, how financial exclusion undermines legal solutions, and where issues of ethics, professionalism, and bias arise in daily practice.
