SUMMARY:MHLD – RC – Discover Discovery
DESCRIPTION:In contested guardianship hearings\, discovery tools—specifically interrogatories\, production of documents\, and admissions—are used to formally exchange information\, lock in testimony\, and establish evidence regarding the client’s needs and the proposed guardian’s suitability. Because contested guardianships proceed similar to civil litigation\, these methods are crucial for forcing the petitioner to show that a guardianship is necessary. \nAfter attending this training\, you will be able to: \n\nDescribe what to include in interrogatories\, requests for production of documents\, and the often underused\, but highly effective\, requests for admissions.\nIdentify what rules apply and how to serve these forms of discovery on the opposing\nside or opposing counsel.\nExplore the use of depositions as a litigation tool\, including understanding the rule and process for scheduling and conducting depositions.\nLearn strategies to obtain facts\, identify witnesses\, and understand the opposing party’s position regarding the alleged incapacitated person’s (Respondent) needs.\n\nPlease register in advance here. \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information  about joining the meeting. \nPresented by Regional Coordinators: Debra Dow\, Esq.(Essex)\, Alex Flig\, Esq.(Norfolk)\, and Deborah Hill Stevens\, Esq.(Berkshire/Hampden) \n2 Credits available for MHLD Panel Members for attending training from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM \nPanel members of Essex\, Norfolk\, Berkshire\, and Hampden county can stay on from 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM for an additional CLE Credit

SUMMARY:After the 72: Leveraging Foster Care Reviews to Advance Your Case
DESCRIPTION:Have you questioned whether you really need to attend that foster care review?  Is it really worth making the time in your busy schedule? The answer to both is YES! Foster care reviews are key opportunities to advocate for your client\, build on your theory of the case\, and\, perhaps most importantly\, provide your client a voice at the table in case planning.  They can also be an important time to learn what is going on with your child client\, because we all know child’s counsel is the last to know everything.  In this training\, participants will learn the mechanics of foster care reviews\, how to effectively prepare yourself and your client\, and how decisions made at the review affect the trajectory of the case.  Participants will also learn how to actively advocate for clients before\, during\, and after the review and use information from reviews in hearings and trial preparation.  The training will take place on Zoom on May 14\, 2026\, 1:00-2:30pm.  Approved for 1.5 CAFL CLEs.
