SUMMARY:Webinar:  Application of the ICPC to Parents Under Recent Caselaw and the New Proposed Rule
DESCRIPTION:Presenters: Abigail Salois & Amy Karp  \nDo you represent a parent who lives in another state\, or a child whose parent lives outside Massachusetts?  If so\, then you’ve probably heard about the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children. Over the years\, there has been great controversy about whether the ICPC applies to parents.  Two recent Massachusetts cases\, Adoption of Knox and Adoption of Xaden\, helped to clarify the issue.  But more recently\, the Juvenile Court has proposed a new rule that threatens to undermine the constitutional protections set out in Knox and Xaden. In this webinar\, we will provide an overview of the ICPC and its application to parents\, review the leading appellate cases\, and discuss the new proposed Juvenile Court Rule 22 and how attorneys can address the rule\, if it’s adopted.  Approved for 2 CAFL CLEs.

SUMMARY:Enhancing Representation of People with Disabilities and Deaf People: 3-part virtual training
DESCRIPTION:A Three-Part Virtual Training: May 21\, 28 and June 5\, 2025 \nPeople with disabilities and Deaf people are arrested and incarcerated at vastly higher rates than people without disabilities. In fact\, the majority of people behind bars have at least one disability. Although psychiatric disabilities (mental illnesses) are often included in discussions about mass incarceration and criminal legal reforms\, other types of disabilities – such as sensory\, cognitive\, and physical disabilities – and Deaf communities have been overlooked. \nIn Part 1\, Kaitlin Kall and Kate Pollack of Activating Change will provide context to the mass incarceration of Deaf people and people with disabilities\, highlighting key societal and system-based drivers of these disparities. They will unpack some of the logistical and attitudinal barriers these communities face when they interact with the criminal legal system\, resulting in their entrenchment in the system. \nIn Part 2\, the presenters will provide strategies for defense attorneys to enhance universal access for their clients; approaches for communicating about and securing court-based accommodations; and guidance for securing language access for Deaf and hard of hearing clients. \nPart 3 Justin Woolf & Alison Fondo of the Disability Law Center of Massachusetts will discuss MA specific accomodations and the legal framework for making accomodation requests. \n*Note this program has been approved for 1.5 CLE per session on the following CPCS Panels:  Criminal Defense (Adult) Trials; Post-Conviction; YAD (Trials and Appeals); CAFL (Trials and Appeals); Mental Health (Trials and Appeals); SORB; SDP; Parole and Medical Parole \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:The New Massachusetts Parentage Act (MPA): Implications for C&P cases
DESCRIPTION:Need a refresher on parentage in C&Ps? Curious about how the new Massachusetts Parentage Act (MPA) affects your advocacy? Open to all CAFL practitioners! The new MPA\, effective January 1\, 2025\, updates our state law on establishing and recognizing legal parent-child relationships. The new law includes and protects more families and individuals\, including LGBTQ+\, families formed through assisted reproduction\, and de facto parents. In this training we will briefly review the nuts of bolts of establishing parentage and then take a deeper dive into the changes and additions in the new MPA. We will conclude by discussing how the new MPA\, and in particular the creation of a new cause of action for de factor parentage\, is implicated in your daily C&P practice and litigation strategies. This training will be offered virtually on June 3\, 2025\, from 1p-2:30p\, 1.5 CAFL CLEs. \nPlease register in advance:  The Masschusetts Parentage Act (MPA) Training Registration Page

SUMMARY:WORDS MEAN THINGS: Racial Bias in the Language of Family Policing
DESCRIPTION:This January\, CAFL Training hosted a Racial Justice Drop-In focusing on Race Bias in Language used in the family regulation context. We are following up on this rich discussion with Words Mean Things: Racial Bias in the Language of Family Policing with Clinical Psychologist Dr. Aleesha Young\, LPC\, PsyD\, and Suffolk based family defense practitioner Attorney Laura Openshaw. \nIn this training\, we hope to review and explore how often used language within DCF documents and practice functions to denigrate and belittle parents and how deeply imbedded social stereotypes perpetuate prejudice within family regulation cases. Dr. Young and Attorney Openshaw will provide a framework for identifying and challenging these biases in court practice. Please note that while this segment will focus on race bias\, we understand how language can also be weaponized against age\, disability\, gender\, ethnic identity\, sexual orientation\, and socioeconomic status and will approach this theme with that understanding.
