SUMMARY:Obtaining or Fighting a Restraining Order
DESCRIPTION:Disclaimer: This event is not sponsored by CPCS – please contact MCLE for questions.\nRestraining orders: from 209A to 258E and everything between \nThe routine nature of District Court restraining order hearings\, coupled with the fact that the majority of litigants in such hearings appear pro se\, belies the profound effect these legal instruments can have on their parties’ lives. A restraining order can abruptly and dramatically limit a defendant’s ability to maintain housing\, maintain familial contact\, work\, or study. Conversely\, the issuance of a restraining order can offer a plaintiff a degree of protection against unwanted contact that would otherwise impair their ability to safely live\, associate\, work\, or study. \nJoin our expert as we look at the options\, how to get them\, and what to expect when arguing for or against restraining orders. \nAgenda\n– Differences between 209A\, 258E\, and Other Restraining Orders\n– Procedural Outline of the Various Steps in the Restraining Order Process\, Including Jurisdictional Issues\n– Various Ways Restraining Orders Intersect with Criminal Proceedings\, Including Confrontation Clause Issues\, Order Extensions & Violations

SUMMARY:Batson and Carter: Stopping Racism and Homophobia in Jury Selection

Each session is $10.00 to attend.  The third part will be in person offered in multiple locations – details about part 3 will be forthcoming when we know more about when in person trainings of this nature can happen. \nDays 1 and 2 have limited enrollment due to including small groups so please sign up as soon as you know you can attend and let us know in advance if you need to cancel so that we can fill your spot.  It is recommended that you attend all three days as day 1 will help inform day 2\, but please sign up for them independently. \nDay 1 – Jan 11 2pm-4pm\, Deselection: Strategic Jury Selection (please see January 11 calendar posting for day one registration details) \nDay 2 – Jan 18\, 2pm-4pm\, Batson and Carter: Stopping Racism and Homophobia  \nREGISTRATION LINK HERE\n \nGet a refresher on the law around stopping racism\, homophobia\, etc. in jury selection and the recent changes and restructuring of the law in this area.  Then you and your small group will have time to practice making objections in actual scenarios where this will come up. \n  \nDay 3 – Practicing Panel Voir Dire – TBD 2022 \nYou can’t sign up yet but we look forward to practicing panel voir dire with you in person! \n  \nEACH SESSION QUALIFIES FOR 2 CLE ON THE FOLLOWING CPCS PANELS:  Adult Criminal\, Criminal Appeals\, YAD\, YAD Appeals and SDP \n

SUMMARY:How to File a Discrimination Complaint with the HHS Office of Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:Important federal laws protect our clients from discrimination. The ADA and Section 504 prohibit discrimination based on disability\, while Title VI prohibits discrimination based on race\, color and national origin.  Yet DCF routinely fails to use interpreters when communicating with our LEP and deaf and hard of hearing clients\, does not translate important documents such as action plans and foster care review reports\, and lacks appropriate services for individuals with disabilities and those who are limited English proficient.  Informal advocacy and motion practice are important tools to challenge discrimination and protect our clients’ rights.  But there is another effective tool you can add to your litigation toolbox.  Attorney Timothy Stark\, Investigator with the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Civil Rights (OCR)\, will provide a review of federal anti-discrimination laws and walk you through the steps to file a complaint.  OCR enforces federal civil rights laws which prohibit discrimination in the delivery of health and human services based on race\, color\, national origin\, disability\, age\, sex\, and religion.  You will also hear from your CAFL colleagues about their experiences filing complaints with OCR. \n[Register Here]

SUMMARY:National Call to Action on Racial Equity
DESCRIPTION:Disclaimer: This event is not sponsored by CPCS – please contact the organizer with questions. \nOn April 13\, 2021\, ACF launched an ambitious equity agenda to eliminate inequities within federal programming\, as well as within the administration of human service programs in jurisdictions. As a part of that effort ACF is planning to announce an Information Memorandum (IM) outlining ACF’s unequivocal commitment to advancing racial equity and strongly encouraging grantees to assess and address how its programs and policies may perpetuate systemic barriers for children and families of color. \nIn accordance with EO 13985\, the focus of this initial IM is on advancing racial equity. However\, ACF intends to build upon the frameworks\, resources\, and tools developed in the initial focus on racial equity to also address equities across other marginalized communities\, including members of religious minorities; lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons; persons with disabilities; and persons who live in rural areas. \nThe Racial Equity IM covers several topics as follows: \n\nThe impact of racism on poverty and the well-being of children and families.\nThe need for comprehensive action to address structural racism within policies and programs that serve as barriers to equal opportunity.\nCurrent work being done within ACF to address racial equity.\nPromising practices conducted in the human services agencies.\nActions ACF urges the field to consider in effort to advance equity.\n\nRegister Here
