DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nCo-sponsored by:\nBoston Bar Association Committee for Attorneys with Disabilities\nHispanic National Bar Association (HNBA) Attorneys with Disabilities and their Allies Section\nThe legal profession is known for its demanding nature\, requiring meticulous attention to detail\, strong analytical skills\, and the ability to think quickly on your feet. While these qualities aid in success\, at times they can also pose challenges for neurodivergent individuals\, who may think\, learn\, and process information differently. In addition to challenges\, neurodiversity also presents advantages that neurotypical individuals might lack. Neurodiversity refers to the spectrum of human brain function and some examples include ADHD\, autism spectrum\, dyslexia\, and dyspraxia. \nJoin us for an illuminating panel discussion on embracing neurodiversity in the legal profession. Our panel of neurodivergent lawyers will delve into their unique experiences navigating the legal landscape. \nWe aim to foster a deeper understanding of neurodiversity and its intricacies and explore strategies to break down barriers\, emphasize strengths\, and be successful as a neurodivergent lawyer. Also\, learn practical tips for having conversations about neurodiversity within your workplace and explore concerns around self-disclosure. \n1.5 CLE Credits for: MHLD Trials \nMore Information & Registration Here\nThis program is hosted by LCL.

SUMMARY:Understanding & Litigating the Harms of Child Removal Training (Part 1)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nUnderstanding & Litigating the Harms of Child Removal\nBecause There’s No Place Like Home\n The involuntary separation of children from their parents is devastating for the whole family\, inevitably causing distinct and long-term harms to the children and to their parents. This two-part training will offer a deeper dive into these harms and explore what we can do to improve outcomes for our clients. \nPart 1: May 14\, 2024\, 2:00-4:00pm \n Thousands of children are separated from their families every year in the name of “child welfare.” In this session\, Professor Shanta Trivedi (author of “The Harm of Child Removal” and the forthcoming article “‘Am I Still a Parent?’ The Devastating Effects of Family Policing on Parents”) will examine the harms that children and parents experience in the family regulation system\, and discuss strategies to help practitioners identify\, prevent and/or mitigate these harms. You can learn more about Professor Trivedi here. Register here. \nPart 2: May 23\, 2024\, 2:00-4:00pm  \nCustody decisions aren’t just about the parents and their conduct; the court also must consider the harm to the child from removal\, family separation\, and placement in the foster system. Our judges don’t always agree\, though. In this session we will discuss the relevant legal requirements in Massachusetts\, share practice tips\, and introduce resources the working group has developed to help attorneys litigate the harms of removal. Register here. \n\nThis program is presented by The CAFL Harms of Removal Working Group. Each session is approved for 2 CAFL CLEs. Attendance at both sessions is encouraged but is not required. \n  \nNOTE: 4 CLE credit for each webinar for attorneys on each of the following panels: CAFL\, CAFL Appeals[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
