SUMMARY:Protecting the Rights of Parents with Disabilities in Massachusetts – A Conversation with US Department of Justice Attorneys and Coalition Advocates
DESCRIPTION:Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act protects parents with disabilities from unlawful discrimination in the administration of child welfare programs\, activities\, and services.   In November 2020\, the U.S. Departments of Justice (DOJ) and Health and Human Services (HHS) reached an agreement with the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) to resolve findings that DCF discriminated against parents with disabilities in violation of the ADA.  Since November 2020\, the United States has been monitoring DCF’s compliance with the agreement and has been regularly communicating with a coalition of advocates representing Massachusetts agencies and organizations that work with families with disabilities.\nIn this presentation\, DOJ attorneys and coalition members will: 1) explain the general requirements of the ADA in the child welfare context; 2) provide an overview of the violations the Justice Department found during its Massachusetts investigation; 3) discuss the policy and practice changes DCF has had to make pursuant to its agreement with the United States including creating processes for handling accommodation requests and discrimination complaints; 4) explain how individuals can request accommodations or file disability discrimination complaints with DCF (and/or file complaints with DOJ and HHS); and 5) address advocacy strategy and practice tips for attorneys in individual cases; and 6) identify additional resources for attorneys and advocates who work with parents with disabilities. \n2 CAFL CLEs

SUMMARY:Power of the Jury: The History & Present of Nullification
DESCRIPTION:Let’s talk about how powerful juries can be\, even when presented with strong evidence by the Commonwealth.   \nIn 1851 a group of Bostonians helped free Shadrach Minkins\, who was being jailed in federal custody for violating the Fugitive Slave Act. Though seven were charged\, the government was unable to achieve even one conviction at trial.  Juries still take the power to nullify today. As we know\, the defense is not allowed to argue for nullification\, but this training will help us all find out about some situations where juries choose to nullify and the information jurors may look for in choosing to nullify.   \n   \nFaculty: Connor Barusch & Melanie Roberts   \nCLE: 1 YAD \, 1 ADULT CRIM  \nRegister Here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYudeutrzwjGNfdwVTcPR-PbQf42Wmpol3G

SUMMARY:White Collar Criminal Cases at The State Court Level
DESCRIPTION:The proliferation of smartphone and mobile computing technology has resulted in society’s dependence on the creation and exchange of electronically stored information.  People store a substantial amount of private information on their mobile devices.  Plastic credit cards are being replaced by their digital counterparts using “near field communication” technology at the cash register. Motor vehicles contain their own internal computers with “infotainment” data.  Security systems connect with users across the cloud. Daily life occurs on the “ground\,” but many routine transactions and interactions occur in the “cloud.”  As a result\, the definition of the “white collar” criminal case has evolved making it more routine at the state court level.  The procedural and evidentiary issues these cases present can be streamlined and organized once identified.\nThe following are some of the topics this program will cover accompanied by a “View from the Bench”: \n\nIdentifying automatic discovery under Mass. R. Crim. P. 14\nDrafting and litigating the pretrial production of third-party records under Mass. R. Crim. P. 17\nDocument management and review tools\nCell Site Location Information (“CSLI”)\, social media evidence\, motor vehicle data\, and the Internet of Things (“IoT”)\nExpert witnesses and forensics\nTrial preparation and presentation\n\nFaculty:\nHon. Matthew Machera\, First Justice\, Chelsea District Court\nADA Greg Connor\, Norfolk County DA’s Office\nDaniel Gelb\, Esq.\, Gelb & Gelb LLP \nOnline Only\nCPCS has approved this program for 2.0 CLE credits.

SUMMARY:Issue Spotting Part One of “After the TCH”
DESCRIPTION:The Temporary Custody Hearing just ended.  DCF has been awarded Temporary Custody.  What do you do now?  Identifying the potential issues in the case is a critical step for developing a comprehensive case plan.  Join us for this zoom training designed to assist you in ferreting out the key issues in your cases.  We start with a new\, completely original CAFL hypothetical.  And it is packed with issues.  Your homework is to read the hypothetical and watch a short video.  Then join us on May 23rd for the zoom training.  After a brief introduction\, we will break into small groups where we can unpack the issues presented in the hypothetical.  When we rejoin the large group\, we will compare lists and discuss how to use this list in your case planning.\nThis is the first training in the “After the TCH” series.  It will be followed later in the year with a training entitled “What to Do After the 72”.   CAFL hopes to add to the series as time permits. \nREGISTER HERE: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwpf-ygqzstE9Yzpzr8qc0offyY-RDgAvhn \n3 CLEs

SUMMARY:Whose Case is it Anyway?  Come Learn about the MCCJA & PKPA
DESCRIPTION:Did your client move to Massachusetts less than six months ago? Is there a pending custody case or outstanding custody order in another state?  If so\, the courts in Massachusetts may not have jurisdiction to decide the client’s case.  Come learn about the Massachusetts Child Custody Jurisdiction Act and federal Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act.  We will review these complex laws and walk you through a series of fact patterns to help you learn how to analyze these issues in your own cases.  We will also discuss practical issues such as advising your clients about the risks and benefits of having the case heard in the other state; communication between the two courts\, motions to dismiss on jurisdictional grounds\, and more.2 CAFL CLEs \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYvce6trzIuE915zTFrK3G0PxOyJ4BmvcT3

SUMMARY:Monthly CAFL Race Equity Drop-In
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever witnessed or experienced implicit bias or racism in your CAFL casework and didn’t know how to respond in the moment? Do you feel like you could use some ideas on how to respond if this happens to you? Join us for the next CAFL Racial Equity Drop-In on May 30\, 2023.  Come brainstorm with colleagues in a no-judgment and no-pressure environment on how to respond to these incidents when they occur and beyond!  We started this conversation last month and it was so productive we agreed to continue the conversation with the goal of combining our ideas into a “guide” for practitioners. You do not need to have been at an earlier drop-in to come to this one. We look forward to seeing those who can come and to continuing the great\, substantive\, creative conversations we are having at these drop-ins.\nYou can register to attend here.\nApproved for 1 CAFL CLE.

SUMMARY:Working with clients who are Deaf and hard of hearing and their families: a presentation by the Massachusetts Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (MCDHH)
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Deborah Cassell\, CAFL Resource Attorney (Barnstable County) – deborahcassell_atty@hotmail.comPresented by Jonathan O’Dell\, MCDHH \nCLE: 2 CAFL; 2 MHLD Trial and MHLD Appeals Panel \nIn Massachusetts and elsewhere in the United States\, access to the courts and legal services by Deaf and hard of hearing individuals remains problematic. This happens for a variety of reasons – insufficient numbers of legal American Sign Language interpreters\, Certified Deaf Interpreters (CDI) and Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) providers. \nAdditionally\, knowledge related to the provision of appropriate communication access services remains elusive\, as does the proper implementation of such services across a wide spectrum of legal and social services. \nThis presentation by MCDHH will help you to understand what appropriate communication access is; what cultural\, communicative\, procedural and technical considerations to take into account when working with Deaf and hard of hearing individuals and families\, and how MCDHH staff can work with you to ensure positive outcomes for our constituency. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82756126205?pwd=U0tkRzg0WUNXMVdBUmhCcC9MWnlDQT09
