SUMMARY:Negotiating and Litigating Meaningful Family Time
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Monday March 4\, 2024\, and Thursday March 14\, 2024. \nResearch has shown that the frequency and quality of family time significantly impacts the chances for reunification and leads to more positive outcomes for children. This makes ensuring frequent\, quality family time a cornerstone of every C&P and CRA. Over the course of two afternoons\, we will provide an overview of the law of “visitation” – including DCF’s obligations\, and the court’s sources of authority to enter orders. Using an interactive format\, we will discuss strategies for successfully negotiating and litigating for meaningful family time and share tips for removing barriers to positive family time experiences. Some advance reading required (~1 hour)\, entitles practitioners to an additional CLE for a total of 6 CLE credits. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZErcuCvqzkvHdHUCisSbQRqSP9T6DjuQn9s[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”18526″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZErcuCvqzkvHdHUCisSbQRqSP9T6DjuQn9s”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Webinar on the New Family Treatment Court in Hampden County Juvenile Court
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Many of our clients struggle with substance use disorders. The traditional court system has historically penalized our clients for what is now known as the natural course of sobriety which includes relapse. We are excited about the new Family Treatment Court in Hampden County (“FTC”). The FTC offers our clients a path to sobriety that has the potential to speed the process of reunification in a less formal and more supportive environment while helping them pursue recovery. As anticipated\, there are many questions about the FTC. Please come to a training on March 6 from 1-3:30 p.m. on Zoom to learn about how Family Treatment Court works. During the training you will have an opportunity to hear from someone with lived experience of the Family Treatment Court in Franklin County as well as court staff and CAFL. We will give a brief overview of the challenges our parent clients with substance use disorder face\, discuss why FTC can be beneficial to our clients\, and how it works. We will also cover advising clients about it\, the role of counsel in FTC cases\, and dispelling misconceptions about FTC. There will be plenty of time for questions at the end. And the training is worth 2.5 CAFL CLEs! \nMarch 6\, 1:00-3:30 PM.\nNote: 2.5 CLE credit for each webinar for attorneys on each of the following panels: CAFL\, CAFL Appeals. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMkfu2srT4uGdzXMJh6-jC1HqWO9-DLkL-c[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Using Data in Litigating Race: Part I
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]How to Find\, Request\, and Use Race Data to Advance Your Client’s Position \nWhen: Wednesday March 20\, 2024 @ 2:30-4:30pm \nFamilies of color ensnared in the family regulation system face multiple layers of systemic racism as they fight to keep their families intact. As practitioners endeavoring to challenge state oppression\, it is vital to address racial bias and treatment as they manifest in each of our cases. Using statistical data and research that underscores existing racism can be powerfully persuasive when your client needs to address issues of race in the court room. This training will help you find\, interpret\, and use data on racial disparities and race-based research to further your advocacy. It will provide an overview of publicly available resources\, explain how to read and interpret data\, and review the process of requesting publicly held information.  We hope to use the full two hours of this session to not only present information but allow participants to brainstorm through hypotheticals and use the tools they have learned in planning how to find and use case specific data. \nNOTE: 2 CLE credit for each webinar for attorneys on each of the following panels: CAFL\, CAFL Appeals. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUrc–grT8rHdBfIh1zv8ZaTakIpD_6pBR_[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:IMPERILED BODIES Slavery\, Colonialism\, Citizenship and the Logics of Gender-Based Violence
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nThis interdisciplinary John F. Sawyer Seminar\, supported by the Mellon Foundation\, will explore gender-based violence and the abiding fiction that it is a natural and inevitable facet of the family\, state\, and nation. It will investigate the logics and mechanisms by which violence is woven into the ordinary and the institutional structures of heteropatriarchy\, colonialism\, imperialism\, racism\, and capitalism. In this sense\, gender-based violence—whether physical or symbolic—is a constitutive act that defines belonging and exclusion. Intimately embedded in quotidian life\, it often takes a singular event to disrupt the “normalcy” of gender-based violence and illuminate the routine harms that pervade our lives. This seminar will examine these ruptures in the logics of violence that “name the pain” (to quote bell hooks) and transform the law\, the social imaginary\, and material life. We must attend equally to the lived experience—that is\, narratives not only about embodied violence\, especially against specific gendered\, racialized\, and disabled subjects\, but also acts of resistance through literature\, art\, and film that defy the forces that create imperiled bodies. Thus\, this seminar addresses the affective dimension alongside the political and historical to elucidate the insidious nature of gender-based violence and to envision a future without it.  \nThe seminar will bring together scholars of literature\, history\, art\, and law to explore gender-based violence in the United States\, Mexico and Central America\, Jamaica and Trinidad\, India\, South Korea\, and Israel/Palestine from the nineteenth century onward. The conjoined histories and afterlives of colonialism\, slavery\, war\, colonial settlements\, and more provide a theoretical vertebra for their varied\, yet connected global trajectories. Drawing on the rich educational resources of metropolitan Boston\, we will also partner with local and national organizations. The nine panel sessions spanning the 2023-2024 academic year and an associated exhibition will foster rich\, intellectual collaborations\, build on and help germinate new classes and programming in the ensuing years. The seminar coincides with the 75th anniversary of Brandeis University’s founding and the 65th anniversary of the founding of the Heller School for Social Policy and Management. It will amplify the social justice mission and history of the university with its long engagement with gender-based violence—from Pauli Murray (1968-73) to Anita Hill (1998-present). \n2 CLE Credits for: MHLD Trials \nLearn More & Register Here\nThis program is hosted by Imperiled Bodies.

SUMMARY:MCLE Protocols for Dealing with Pro Se Litigants in the Probate & Family Court
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nThe steep rise of pro se litigants\, individuals who seek to represent themselves in court\, forces lawyers to recalibrate their litigation approaches to account for the pro se litigant’s general unfamiliarity with court procedure\, filings\, discovery\, and evidentiary rules. A good lawyer makes crucial changes to their strategy\, including introductions\, service\, communications\, presentation in court\, and finalization of agreements. \nJoin our expert as we explore key differences between litigating against a represented party versus a pro se litigant\, and adjustments the lawyer may need to make to ensure the case progresses smoothly and the client’s expectations are managed.  \n1 CLE credit for: Mental Health Trials \nRegister Here \n  \nThis program is hosted by MCLE.
