The statute is a civil\, regulatory statute that has been found constitutional only where due process protections of a jury trial and proof beyond a reasonable doubt are guaranteed. \nThe jury trials in Superior court usually last at least one week and often involve four or more experts and other witnesses. Expert testimony by psychologists about diagnoses\, sexual recidivism and likelihood of reoffense are key components of every case. \nJoin a cadre of talented and successful jury trial attorneys. Training and mentoring will be provided. \n  \nApplication forms are linked below and must be returned to ac@publiccounsel.net no later than April 5\, 2024 to allow time for processing. \n  \nIf accepted\, you will be invited to complete the certification training by viewing videos in the comfort of your office or home and subsequently completing a one-day in-person practice training that will take place on Tuesday June 11\, 2024 from 9am to 5pm in the CPCS Malden Office \n  \nFor more information\, contact Liz Elliott at 781-652-4324 or Rob Ploski at (617) 910-5827 or ac@publiccounsel.net \nCLEs: Criminal Trials\, YAD\, Post-Conviction: 3.5; MHLD Trials – 2.5; YAD Appeals – 4 hours  \n  \n*(By statute both the client and the Commonwealth have a right to jury by statute\, so virtually every case is a jury trial) \nLINKS TO APPLICATION FORMS BELOW: \nSDP Trial Panel Application \nSORB SDP Appellate Application[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Monthly CAFL Race Equity Drop-In
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]As practitioners in the family regulation system\, there are many times we feel frustrated and beaten when facing the full force of the racist state. And at times\, even complicit in the system of unjust removals as court officers. We are obviously part of this legal system despite our fight to change the outcomes for our clients one case at a time. This June we hope to take a moment of introspection into our work\, cognizant of the harms of family separation\, of the larger family policing system\, and reconcile our roles and responsibilities to the community we represent. \nWe want to know how you deal with the feeling of complicity in a largely racist and unjust family regulation system. How do you counter this narrative to continue your work? Or do you do something else entirely? What do you suggest we do as individuals and collectively to better fight for positive changes in and outside of court? \nPlease come with your thoughts and suggestions or just to listen to a candid discussion that will hopefully leave us with efforts to maintain our zeal in challenging injustice. We will meet via zoom on Wednesday\, June 26\, 1-2pm. \nApproved for 1 CAFL CLE. \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUvcuuhqz8rE9TYEqGfCOMpyJrJAwbxH9D5[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
