SUMMARY:Monthly CAFL Race Equity Drop-In – Advocating for Our Clients Who Are Limited English Proficient and Their Children
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Next Race Equity Drop in July 26\, 1:00-2:00 – Advocating for Our Clients Who Are Limited English Proficient and Their Children \nHave your clients had their court cases continued over and over again because no interpreter was available?   Has DCF told your parent client to attend a service that is only offered in a language the client does not speak?   Do you represent a child who is losing the ability to communicate with their parents because they are placed in an English only speaking home?  Are parent-child visits cancelled because there’s no interpreter for the DCF worker observing the visit?  Are your clients routinely handed documents written in a language they cannot read?  After several colleagues raised issues around language access at our last few drop ins\, we decided to devote our next session to the challenges faced by our clients who are limited English proficient.  Please join us on July 26\, 1:00-2:00 to brainstorm with colleagues on how to protect the civil and due process rights of our clients who are limited English proficient.  You can register to attend here. \nApproved for 1 CAFL CLE.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Free Webinar: Closing the Justice Gap for Older Adults Part 4
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFree Webinar: Closing the Justice Gap for Older\nAdults Part 4: You Can Make a Difference—\nDefending Against or Terminating Guardianship\nWhen: August 23\, 2023\, from 11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. P.T./2:00-3:15 p.m. E.T. \nThe fourth webinar in the Closing the Justice Gap for Older Adults training series will prepare legal aid attorneys to represent individuals who may be subject to guardianship or who are under guardianship. When representing a person with a guardian or someone who is allegedly in need of a guardian\, an attorney may need to take extra steps to ensure their client has the right to counsel of their choice and to be a strong advocate on behalf of the client. This includes ensuring the client is present in the proceedings and treated with dignity and that the client’s due process rights are upheld. By using procedural and evidentiary tools— including alternatives to guardianship—advocates can increase clients’ independence and autonomy and restore their civil rights. This training will build on the concepts discussed in the second training in this series\, Representing Clients with a Range of Decisional Capabilities. \nPresenters will share: \n· Considerations for representing clients with a range of decisional capabilities; \n· Strategies for advocating for clients’ rights; \n· Standards and burdens for opposing\, modifying\, or terminating guardianship; and \n· Building systems and partnerships to engage with clients in need of these services. \nPresenters: \n· Introduction: Francis Nugent\, Legal Services Corporation and Hilary Dalin\, Administration for Community Living \n· Jim Berchtold\, Justice in Aging \n· Gabrielle Marshall\, Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid \nCapacity for this session is limited to 3\,000 participants\, and all participants will have the option of accessing audio through the computer or by phone. Closed captioning will be available. Please be sure to log onto the webinar a few minutes early in order to secure your place for the live presentation on Zoom. If you would like to request ASL interpretation or have other accessibility related questions\, please email ncler@acl.hhs.gov at least a week in advance. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our website shortly after the presentation. The recording and training materials will also be emailed to all registrants within a few days after the training. We are unable to offer CEU’s or other certifications. Thank you for understanding. \nThe webinar will take place on Wednesday\, August 23\, 2023\, at 11:00 a.m. PT/2:00 p.m. ET. and will run for 75 minutes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are committed to keeping any personally identifiable information you have provided to us secure.
