SUMMARY:MHLD Civil Commitment Certification Training
DESCRIPTION:CPCS Fall 2021 Training to Represent People Facing Civil Commitment and Related Forced Medication Petitions\nThe Mental Health Litigation Division (MHLD) of the Committee for Public Counsel Services is seeking qualified attorneys to represent clients in civil commitment and forced medication cases in District and Boston Municipal Courts. In Massachusetts\, people experiencing psychiatric distress can be involuntarily detained at psychiatric facilities\, committed for up to six months or a year\, and treated with anti-psychotic medications against their wishes. These substantial deprivations of liberty entitle people to court-appointed counsel to ensure that all their rights under the law are protected. Civil commitment cases offer frequent and fast-paced litigation experience\, client contact\, and the satisfaction of providing zealous client-centered advocacy to some of the most misjudged and undervalued clients in the Commonwealth. \nAdmission to the MHLD trial panel is by application only. All attorneys who accept CPCS assignments are required to maintain professional liability insurance. Completed applications must be submitted by Monday\, July 26\, 2021. \nFor more information and application click link below (or see attached Word Document): \nhttp://localhost/cpcs/train/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/Final-Announcement-Fall-2021-Commitment-Certification-Training.docx \n

SUMMARY:FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE HISTORY CLE
DESCRIPTION:This program is hosted by the Social Law. 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.\n\n\n\nFEDERAL LEGISLATIVE HISTORY CLE \nThursday\, December 2\, 2021 \n4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. \nPanel\nAlex G. Philipson\, Esq. – Deputy Legal Counsel\, Massachusetts Superior Court\nBrian J. Harkins\, Esq. – Senior Reference Attorney\, Social Law Library \nOnline Only \nLegislative history is a critically important advocacy tool in Federal Court when statutory language is ambiguous and begs for clarification. Federal judges invite and apply the use of legislative history to avoid incongruous results\, illuminate drafting errors\, determine specialized meanings\, or choose reasonable interpretations of politically controversial statutes.\nIn these and other instances\, Congress’s intent must be inferred from the statute’s legislative history\, which successful advocate’s must stitch together from a variety of sources including:\n– The text of the bill and proposed amendments that were accepted or rejected\n– Transcripts of hearings conducted by Congressional committees responsible for the bill\n– Committee reports written about the bill\n– Transcripts of House and Senate floor debates related to the bill \nAlex Philipson\, who has taught classes in appellate writing at New England Law Boston and Northeastern University Law School\, and Senior Reference Attorney Brian Harkins will show the “how” and “where” to find and interpret these and other sources of legislative history. \nThis program teaches advocates the research skills necessary to reconstruct a statute’s legislative history for use in pleadings\, briefs and oral arguments. \n2 CLE: CAFL\, Adult Criminal\, MHLD\, YAD

SUMMARY:Webinar on the SJC’s Game-Changing Decision in Care and Protection of Rashida
DESCRIPTION:Webinar on the SJC’s Game-Changing Decision in Care and Protection of Rashida\nOn the heels of the SJC’s watershed decision in Care and Protection of Walt comes what many were calling Walt II until the decision came down as Care and Protection of Rashida.  After years of fighting for judges to hear reasonable efforts motions\, the SJC came through for Massachusetts families and issued this game-changing decision.  So what now?  Come hear about Rashida and why it is game-changing from Attorneys Ann O’Connor and William Comeau\, who represented Rashida and her mother in the SJC.  They will review the decision and provide practical tips on how to use it to force DCF to do their job and make reasonable efforts to reunify families.  They will explain how the decision builds on Ann’s success in Walt\, and says that parents and children can challenge DCF’s failure to make reasonable efforts and request remedial orders any time in the case.  We will learn how to frame challenges to reasonable efforts to get the most for our clients and support reunification of families. \nRegister

SUMMARY:ACLUM Public Records Requests Training
DESCRIPTION:This program is hosted by ACLU. Any questions or issues regarding this program should be directed there. (info@aclum.org). This event is being listed for informational purposes only. CPCS staff cannot assist with\, or solve\, registration issues.\nWe are writing to offer an opportunity to join the ACLU of Massachusetts on Tuesday\, October 19\, at 4 p.m.\, for a remote training on making\, pursuing\, and litigating requests under the Massachusetts Public Records Law. \nThis law is a critical tool to help people learn what their government is doing. ACLUM often sends public records requests to investigate discrete legal issues\, to preserve access to a free and open government\, or to aid in litigation efforts. We also receive many requests—more than we can handle ourselves—for help from people who want to submit their own public records requests\, or have already done so without success. Consequently\, we frequently have projects where we might need your assistance gathering records. \nAs part of this training\, you’ll learn about:\n• Crafting a request under the Massachusetts Public Records Law\n• Following up with a public entity about a request\n• Litigating a request when the public entity’s response is inadequate\n• Evaluating and responding to the assertion of exemptions \nREGISTER HERE \n1 CLE – YAD\, YAD APPEALS\, ADULT CRIMINAL\, CRIMINAL APPEALS\, SORB/SDP\, CAFL\, Mental Health

CPCS staff cannot assist with\, or solve\, registration issues.\nHow We EndUp: A Future Without Family Policing Convening  \nThe UpEnd Movement is holding its 2nd annual convening of organizers\, activists\, scholars\, and community leaders who are committed to dismantling the family policing system\, a system predicated on the subjugation\, surveillance\, control\, and punishment of mostly poor Black and Native children and families.  The conference will commence with a keynote presentation by Derecka Purnell\, human rights lawyer\, organizer\, and author of Becoming Abolitionist\, in conversation with scholar\, social justice activist and author of the seminal book Shattered Bonds: The Color of Child Welfare\, Dorothy Roberts.  It will bring these voices together to explore how we can move toward abolition of family policing—how we can dismantle harmful\, racist systems and build different ways of caring for one another. \nThe conference will be held October 26-27 from 1:00-4:15pm Tuesday and Wednesday.  It’s approved for 3 CAFL CLEs each day and you can register here.

SUMMARY:Mass and Cass Legal: Section 35s and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Mass and Cass Legal: Section 35\, Warrants and Beyond\n October 27th 2021\, 1-2pm. Please register here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUrdOChrzsqGNRgP4jzDhQLoS6odpdT7rg0 \nThe program has been approved for 1 CLE for Adult Criminal\, Criminal Appeals\, YAD and YAD Appeals and Mental Health \nPlease join us for a Brown Bag refresher and discussion by the Criminal Defense Training Unit about Section 35s and representing people who are being arrested in the City’s assault on the community of unhoused people in the area of Mass and Cass. We will have a presentation and discussion on strategies to zealously represent our clients\, protecting both their rights and their lives\, in the face of Section 35 petitions and warrant arrests. Sample motions\, appealing Section 35 commitments\, objections and defenses unique to this circumstance and working with medically compromised clients will also be covered. \nBackground: Nov 1st the Trial Court will open a “court” inside the Suffolk County House of Corrections\, which will operate Mondays\, Tuesday and Wednesdays. This will be used to book and process people arrested as part of the ongoing sweeps of the Mass and Cass area. We expect a substantial number of arrests over the coming weeks\, and for those arrests to be used as a pretext to get people off the street and into state custody for Section 35s to be filed. Section 35s may not be medically advisable or in the best interests of our clients. See this article quoting local doctors highlight the risks associated with the city’s plan for more background: https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2021/10/21/experts-concerned-kim-janey-mass-cass-executive-order-encampments/  Bar advocates and CPCS staff will be covering duty days within this jail/court. \nThe choice of South Bay HOC as the location where court will be conducted and people will be held for booking is very troubling\, particularly given the four people who died there between June and September\, including one woman detained for a section 35. \nMore details are coming out every day about this plan by the city/police/courts\, so our responses to protect our clients and stand against this injustice are also evolving. We will continue to monitor the developments\, share information and provide support as this unfolds. Thanks for being in this fight together! \n  \n
