NOFAS has produced a video on the topic of FASD in the legal system. Unfortunately, many people with FASD come in contact with the criminal justice system. The video contains interviews with Anthony P. Wartnik (Retired Judge and Legal Director of FASD Experts), Susan Fleisher (Executive Director of NOFAS-UK), and Kathryn Kelly (Project Director of the FASD Legal Issues Resource Center). Interviews were conducted at the recent International FASD Conference in Vancouver.
NOFAS supports the prevailing legal view that FASD should be considered a mitigating factor during criminal sentencing.
