July 19/Boston - Advanced Training on Rogers #Guardianships

VLP/Senior Partners is delighted to offer an advanced training on Rogers issues in guardianships of adults and minors.
Joanne Moses, former Assistant General Counsel for the Department of Mental Health, will provide a nuts and bolts training on the issues that arise when a guardian requires legal authority to administer antipsychotic drugs to a minor ward or adult respondent. A substituted judgment analysis by the court requires the submission of a treatment plan, affidavit from the treating physician laying out all the factors the judge must consider in making a substituted judgment as well as a proposed order. This training is an excellent opportunity for practitioners who have handled guardianship matters and are interested in learning about the procedure and substantive law involved in obtaining Rogers authority. Attorney Moses will provide basic information for new practitioners as well as tips and suggestions for attorneys familiar with Rogers authority but wanting to hone their skills.

VLP trainings are offered free of charge to active volunteers. Please see the VLP Training Policy.
