Philipson\, Esq. –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 advocates must stitch together from a variety of sources including: \n\nThe text of the bill and proposed amendments that were accepted or rejected\nTranscripts of hearings conducted by Congressional committees responsible for the bill\nCommittee reports written about the bill\nCommittee prints\nCompiled legislative history\nTranscripts of House and Senate floor debates related to the bill\n\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 and Law Librarian Karen Breda 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. \n$40 \nCPCS approved for 2.0 hours of credit from CAFL. To receive credits attendees must be logged on during the program for a minimum of 80% of the conference time.

SUMMARY:SLL LEGAL WRITING SEMINAR: WITH SOME NOT-SO-TYPICAL TOPICS
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nCPCS approved 2.5 CLE hours for the SORB and SDP Hearings\, Post-Conviction\, Adult Criminal Trial\, CAFL\, YAD\, YAD Appeals\, and Mental Health panels.\nKenneth Bresler\, Administrative Magistrate\, Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA) \nDate & Time: Wednesday\, March 13\, 2024 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.\nProgram Fee: $65 \n  \n•          You probably know to use the active voice in your writing. But how do you spot the passive voice? When is OK to use the passive voice? \n•          Use one idea per sentence – generally\, that is. \n•          Avoid nominalizations (“have knowledge of\,” “have need of\,” “make use of”). \n•          Ditch the synonyms. Pick one word and stick with it. \n•          Avoid common redundancies (“prior planning\,” “future predictions”). \n•          Use “however” properly.  (Many educated people misuse it.) \n•          Is it “disinterested” or “uninterested”? \n•          Is it “flaunt” or “flout”? (Some courts get it wrong.) \n•          Is it “just deserts” or “just desserts”? (You won’t get this wrong ever.) \n•          Why there ain’t no such thing as “12:00 a.m.” \n•          Avoid the ambiguity of “12:00 midnight.” \nAn experienced lawyer\, writer\, editor\, and writing coach\, Kenneth Bresler has successfully presented these topics to long-practicing lawyers and law students alike. Consider sending your interns and summer associates as part of your summer program. This 2.5 hour webinar includes some easy hands-on\, correct-your-own writing exercises. \nOnline registration is encouraged.
