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.

SUMMARY:SDP (Sexually Dangerous Persons) Trial Panel Certification
DESCRIPTION:Join a panel where you are guaranteed Superior Court jury trials with experts in virtually every case* \nMassachusetts is one of 20 states that has a sexually dangerous persons statute\, G.L. c. 123A\, which allows the government to keep individuals indefinitely confined in prison for something they MAY do in the future. Once an individual has completed a criminal sentence for a sex offense\, the Commonwealth can petition to have him detained as a sexually dangerous person. \nSDP 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. \nJoin our team of talented and successful jury trial attorneys. \nApplication forms at: https://forms.monday.com/forms/474c04f4822f27f3405ccf9c5195964c?r=use1 and must be completed by March 15\, 2025\, 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 by May 9\, 2025 and subsequently completing a one day in-person practice training that will take place on Friday\, May 30\, 2025\, from 10 am to 4 pm in the CPCS Worcester 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\, YAD Appeals: 3.5; MHLD Trials – 2.5.  \n*(By statute both the client and the Commonwealth have a right to jury by statute\, so virtually every case is a jury trial)

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.

SUMMARY:Holding Hope: Advancing Justice-Centered and Community-Rooted Mental Health for Marginalized Children
DESCRIPTION:In the face of structural violence\, racial trauma\, and systemic inequities\, professionals supporting children’s mental health often ask: How do we keep doing this work with integrity\, justice\, and hope—without becoming overwhelmed or disconnected from our purpose? This presentation moves beyond foundational knowledge to explore the next phase of justice-centered mental health care: collective\, culturally grounded action. Building upon social determinants of health and Kenneth Hardy’s model of healing racial trauma\, this session centers children from historically marginalized communities and offers actionable\, community-rooted strategies to deepen healing and foster resilience. Attendees will engage with practical tools\, culturally responsive interventions\, and community-based models that shift the work from individual to collective care. This session aims to sustain practitioners with tools that not only support children and families—but also nurture the professional’s own healing and engagement in the work through a framework of radical hope and co-regulation. \nCost: $50 if for CE Credit; $30 for no CE Credit \nWilliam James College faculty\, staff\, and alumni are eligible for enrollment discount codes.  \nWilliam James College students attend this program at no cost with discount code.  \nFor any questions or to receive the discount code\, please contact us at: ce@williamjames.edu \n\n\n\nClick here for more information or to register for this continuing education program.

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
