SUMMARY:Exploring the History of Bias Within the Child Welfare System and Seeking Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Exploring the History of Bias Within the Child Welfare System and Seeking SolutionsPart 2 \nThe Ensuring Racial Equity Committee\, in collaboration with the Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare Committee and the Fairness and Access Committee\, is honored to present a series of discussions on the institutional history of the child welfare system. From a national perspective\, these discussions will shed light on the structural bias and racial disparities within the child welfare system and the negative impact such bias has on families of color\, particularly African American families. We will present data demonstrating that these families are disproportionately brought into the child welfare system and discuss reasons for their overrepresentation. We will highlight strategic and creative action being taken nationally to address and dismantle the bias giving rise to these disparities. \nThe objectives for our second discussion are to: \n1. Provide a brief overview of the historical perspective of the child welfare system and present\ndata showing the disparate representation of families of color in the system and the resultant\nnegative affect on these families.\n2. Learn from a young adult\, Mr. Hawkins\, who will share his Lived Experience in the system\,\nfrom the initiation of the case to the conclusion of his case\, along with suggestions he and his lawyer\, Ms. Diaz\, have for judges handling these cases.\n3. Discuss strategic and creative action being taken to address and dismantle the bias in the child welfare system at every stage of the decision-making process. \nFlyer:

SUMMARY:MCLE: 8th Annual Conference 2022 - Appellate Practice
DESCRIPTION:This program is hosted by the organizer listed below. Any questions or issues regarding this program should be directed there. This event is being listed for informational purposes only. CPCS staff cannot assist with\, or solve\, registration issues.\nThe premier yearly event for appellate practitioners\, MCLE’s 8th Annual Appellate Practice Conference 2022 features a concentrated focus on the appellate process. This year\, the Conference provides a variety of perspectives to help attorneys become better appellate litigators. For a fresh perspective\, the newest members of the state and federal appellate courts in Massachusetts discuss their backgrounds and how they are settling into their new roles. For a comparative perspective\, Justices Kafker\, Cypher\, and Wendlandt reflect upon their experiences serving on both the Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) and the Massachusetts Appeals Court—as we observe an especially significant milestone in marking the 50th anniversary of the Appeals Court. \nFor the practitioner’s perspective\, the current and original State Solicitors provide practical advice on brief writing\, reviewing briefs written by others\, and preparing for and delivering oral argument\, among other topics. For a change in viewpoint\, members of the SJC’s Standing Committee on the Rules of Appellate Procedure discuss recent rule changes. The Conference also features behind-the-scenes insight from the former Chief Staff Counsel to the SJC on the evolution of the SJC’s docket and from state and federal appellate court clerks on recent developments in court operations. \nThis outstanding Conference is essential for both new and experienced appellate litigators to strengthen their skills\, hear from the judiciary\, learn from experts\, and network with colleagues. Take advantage of this valuable opportunity to become a more effective appellate lawyer. \nhttps://www.mcle.org/
