Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The life, and death, of Jeffrey Epstein has captured the attention of the legal community and broader public. The latest legal twist in the story is a decision by the Eleventh Circuit in In re Wild, 955 F.3d 1196 (11th Cir. 2020), which held that federal prosecutors did not have an obligation to inform, and consult with, Epstein's victims regarding their decision not to prosecute Epstein for sex trafficking. In our latest New York Law Journal article, "Limiting Victims' Rights: The Eleventh Circuit Reads the CVRA Narrowly," we summarize the federal Crime Victims' Rights Act and discuss the majority, concurring and dissenting opinions of the divided Eleventh Circuit. We hope you are all staying healthy and safe.

Best Regards,
Elkan Abramowitz and Jonathan Sack
