On March 1, 2018, Rob attended a continuing legal education seminar on “Evidence Based Sentencing Practices.” The CLE was put on by multiple probation officers and leadership from the Virginia Department of Corrections, Judge Bernhard, Public Defender Andrew Elders and Blake Woloson, Esq. The seminar addressed methods to reduce recidivism through better probation techniques. As Virginia has the lowest inmate recidivism rate in the United States, this topic was of incredible importance.
