Jan 27/Chicago - Powers of Attorney

The Center for Disability and Elder Law  announces:

A free CLE training on drafting Powers of Attorney, as part of CDEL's SCI program, is provided on Wednesday, January 27, 2010 from 1:00-2:30 p.m. at CDEL's office. Illinois licensed attorneys will receive 1 hour of MCLE credit for attendance at the training and should be able to commit to participating in at least one workshop. Students (especially students eligible for Supreme Court Rule 711 licenses) and retired attorneys are also welcome to attend. 

Sponsor(s): Center for Disability and Elder Law 
Date: 01/27/2010
Time: 01:00PM - 02:30PM
Location: 79 W. Monroe Suite 919, Chicago, IL 60603
Speakers: Thomas Wendt, Esq. Legal Director, Center for Disability & Elder Law. 

Program Description:
The SCI brings CDEL staff and volunteer attorneys to senior citizen residences across Chicago and suburban Cook County to prepare Powers of Attorney for Health Care and Property, as well as Living Will Declarations. In 2009, CDEL conducted 54 workshops scheduled, assisting approximately 650 seniors. Between 4 and 8 volunteer attorneys and 8 and 20 seniors participate in each workshop.

To administer the SCI workshops, CDEL staff attorneys and volunteers to travel to low-income senior citizens' residence facilities to conduct educational outreaches, teaching the residents of the facilities about CDEL and its services, in particular Powers of Attorney.

CDEL staff and volunteer attorneys then return to the site to conduct the workshop. Generally, volunteer attorneys travel directly to site, thus avoiding a trip downtown to CDEL's office. At the workshop, the CDEL volunteer attorneys meet one on one with seniors, where the attorneys consult with residents, explain the documents in detail to the residents and draft the documents. The documents are then witnessed, notarized, copied and presented to the senior. This is a great opportunity to provide assistance directly to seniors in a discreet, one time manner, with no lingering client matters. Once the documents are completed and the workshop is finished, the attorney client relationship ends. If any follow-up is needed, CDEL handles the follow-up.

• The program is good for attorneys interested in providing pro bono service to clients, but do not have the time or availability to provide long term representation. 
• The program is also good for retired and semi-retired attorneys, who simply wish to "give something back" to the community. For retired attorneys, CDEL can even facilitate those attorneys to obtain a Supreme Court Rule 756(j) license (for retired attorneys working for/volunteering at non-profit legal service providers). 
• The program is also great for law students who are interested in obtaining practical legal and client interaction experience. For qualified students, CDEL will assist in obtaining a Supreme Court Rule 711 provisional license.

CDEL is also looking for volunteers to travel to the senior centers to provide the initial outreach speaking engagements. Complete training and speaking "scripts" are available for this program. For each presentation, the attorney volunteer would receive 2 hours of "pro bono credit."

Contact Information:
For more information or to register for the CLE training, please email CDEL at cle@probonocdel.org or call CDEL Chief Legal Officer Thomas Wendt at (312) 376-1880 ext 21.

And now, the Sales Pitch:
The SCI Workshop concept has been very successful and there is a demonstrated need for expansion of the program.

• It is a positive experience for the residences, as they are able to schedule an activity that provides a much needed service. 
• It is a positive experience for the law firms and attorneys, as the SCI provides the opportunity for pro bono work in a discreet workshop, as well as the opportunity to receive MCLE credit. 
• It is a positive experience for CDEL, as it provides CDEL with the opportunity to provide service to a large number of seniors and is an incredibly efficient use of CDEL resources. 
• Most importantly, the Workshop is a positive experience for the seniors as they receive these very important legal services and legal documents at no expense in an efficient manner.

Jan 27/Web: Crisis in Haiti: Addressing the Legal Issues

Join Julie E. Dinnerstein, Co-Director of the Immigration Intervention Project, Sanctuary for Families, and Miriam A. Buhl, Pro Bono Counsel at Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, for  Crisis in Haiti: Addressing the Legal Issues Wednesday January 27 , 2010 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM, a free One-Hour Briefing By Practising Law Institute on Temporary Protected Status applications and disaster-related pro bono legal/non-legal assistance to minimize the risk of catastrophic loss of life and infrastructure.
Topics to be addressed include:

• What is Temporary Protected Status, and how to apply?
• Who is eligible for Haitian TPS?
• Who should not apply for TPS?
• What other legal needs are likely to emerge?
• How can lawyers help with natural disasters?

Natural disasters may be unpreventable, but there are ways lawyers can help. The Obama administration has designated Haiti as a country whose nationals may be eligible for Temporary Protected Status - as it has to survivors of Latin American earthquakes and those fleeing extreme political upheaval in Africa - so that the Haitian diaspora in the United States will be allowed to work and send vitally needed money home.

Jan 22-24 / NY Mock Trial Judging (up to 3 Credits)

Preregistration required for this opportunity to earn up to 3 credits judging a mock trial at New York University.

The announcement ( http://nyumocktrial.com/judges.htm ) has the details:

Dear Prospective Judges,

On January 22nd, 23rd and 24th of 2010, the New York University Undergraduate Mock Trial Team will be hosting our fourth annual invitational tournament entitled the Downtown Invitational Classic. We are asking local legal practitioners to participate in the tournament by serving as judges.

To give you a better idea of what this entails, here is a brief description of what our tournament will consist of:

• Mock trial is a trial advocacy competition in which over 250 colleges and universities participate.
• The American Mock Trial Association (AMTA) is the governing body for undergraduate mock trial. Representatives from AMTA will be in attendance to oversee the event and ensure that everyone involved has a wonderful experience.
• Our tournament will host some of the finest teams from around the country, including the defending champions, Northwood Universitty, in addition to Harvard University, Yale University, the George Washington University and many others.

For those of you who are interested in judging and looking for more information, here are the logistics:

• Location. The tournament will take place at the United States District Courthouse, Eastern District of New York, located at 225 Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn. This is one of the finest courthouses in all of New York City. Judges should report to the courthouse approximately one hour before the round they are scheduled to judge for the Judges' Meeting.
• Starting Times. The tournament will consist of four rounds: one on Friday, January 22nd, two on Saturday, January 23rd and one on Sunday, January 24th. Round times can be found at the form below. Rounds typically last approximately two hours. Judges are welcome to judge multiple rounds but are certainly not required to do so.
• Judges' Meetings. Immediately preceding each round, there will be a presentation given by a representative from AMTA that will explain the judges' responsibilities and the criteria they will be using to score the competitors. We ask judges arrive 45 minutes before the round starts.
• Food & Beverage. Breakfast, lunch, and refreshments will be provided as a token of our appreciation.
• Networking Opportunity. We estimate that approximately 150 local legal practitioners will be volunteering. It will undoubtedly be a terrific opportunity to meet and network with other attorneys from the New York area.
• CLE Credit. Finally, judges can earn a maximum of 3 CLE credits in the category of skills for judging undergraduate mock trial. You can earn 3 credits simply by judging one round of competition (although we encourage you to stay for more)! The credits are non-transitional and are provided by New York University's School of Law. You will receive a certificate, via e-mail, within 6-8 weeks of the competition.

If you are interested in volunteering to judge, please fill out and submit the form ....
