August 29/Seattle: Ensuring Equal Access to Washington Courts for Persons with Disabilities and the Implementation of General Rule 33 #MCLE

GR 33 provides a mechanism for persons with disabilities to request accommodations from a Washington State Court. There are several aspects to the rule, but perhaps the most intriguing is that it permits (and sometimes mandates) the court to appoint a lawyer to a person with a disability in a civil case, at no cost to the disabled person.
The Honorable Anne Ellington, Division One of the Court of Appeals, and David Lord of Disability Rights Washington will describe the origins, purpose and use of the rule in obtaining accommodations needed for equal access to the justice system by people with disabilities. Speaker Bruce Moran is the Deputy Court Administrator for Pierce County Superior Court and has been involved in implementing the rule on the ground in Pierce County.

Mobile banking was first introduced in developing countries as a way to provide banking services to communities that lacked formal financial institutions. In recent years, mobile banking has taken a prominent role in the technology world and as a tool for improving financial access. While over 30 million Americans are unbanked (meaning they lack a traditional checking or savings account and rely on costly alternative financial services), over 83% of American adults have a mobile phone. Thus mobile banking may provide opportunities for increasing financial access among the millions of unbanked individuals. This webinar will provide an overview of the history of mobile banking, as well as current developments in the products and services available. Panelists will also discuss the ability and effectiveness of using mobile banking to reach the unbanked and the regulations and consumer protections that need to be implemented in order to ensure this new technology safe and successful.

August 14/San Francisco: Introduction to Landlord Tenant Training and Housing Negotiation Project training

Two programs on the same day!
Pre-registration is required to attend these programs.
First Program Title:
Introduction to Landlord Tenant Training
LSP's full scope Eviction Defense Project provides representation to clients during their eviction proceedings. These cases provide excellent litigation experience as the procedures are the same as those involved in business litigation-discovery, motions, settlement, and trial-on a more manageable level. Before you volunteer with this project, we ask that you attend this free MCLE training session.
This training will be given by VLSP’s Supervising Attorney who will go over the volunteer procedures as well as the different types of cases we place with volunteers. The substantive portion of the training must be viewed ahead of time on the Practising Law Institute’s Web site. For more information on how to view this webcast and attend our live training, please email vlsp@sfbar.org. Pre-registration is required to attend.

Second Program Title:
Housing Negotiation Project training

VLSP's Housing Negotiation Project is a limited-scope project providing representation to individuals and families facing eviction. Representation is limited to settlement conferences only. HNP is the first pro bono project of its kind, and is a project in which every single person in need of representation has a pro bono attorney. Volunteer shifts are Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 12:30 - 4:30 p.m. During one shift, a volunteer will represent one to three clients. It is an excellent opportunity to get valuable negotiation experience without a large time commitment. Volunteers must attend our free CLE training before volunteering for this project. After attending the training, we ask our volunteers commit to 4 afternoon sessions within 6 months.

To register for this training, please email vlsp@sfbar.org. Pre-registration is required for this training

August 15/Atlanta: Seeking Cloture: Is the Senate Filibuster Constitutional? #MCLE

Please join the Georgia Lawyer Chapter of the American Constitution Society for a discussion between Emmet Bondurant and Professor Eric J. Segall on the constitutionality of the use of the filibuster in the United States Senate.  Mr. Bondurant will first present the legal basis for challenging the constitutionality of the filibuster.  Mr. Bondurant’s presentation will then be followed by a dialogue led by Professor Eric J. Segall, an expert in constitutional law.  Topics will include how the Federalist Papers would have envisioned the use of the filibuster, whether it has been used in recent years to subvert majority rule in the United States Senate; whether federal courts have the authority to strike down internal rules and procedures of Congress, and the merits of a legal attack on the filibuster’s constitutionality.

July 25/San Francisco: Arizona v. United States: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

Was the Supreme Court's decision regarding Arizona's anti-immigrant law a victory or a loss in the fight for immigrants' rights?
Tom Saenz and Lucas Guttentag, two of the country's foremost leaders in the fight for immigrants' rights, will discuss the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the constitutionality of the Arizona's immigration law, SB 1070.  How does the ruling fit into the Court's jurisprudence regarding the role of state and local officials in enforcing federal immigration law?  Was the Court's decision to find three of the four provisions of the law pre-empted while leaving what is perhaps the most troubling provision intact a victory or a loss for immigrants' rights?  What does the Court's decision say about forthcoming as-applied challenges to the law?

August 8/San Francisco: Forced Arbitration Today: Where Workers Stand

In the year after the Supreme Court’s decision in the consumer class action case, Concepcion v. AT&T Mobility, 131 S. Ct. 1740 (2011), courts around the country have erected new barriers to employees seeking to vindicate their rights under worker protection laws. While the rulings have not sounded the death knell for class actions, they have generally made it more difficult for employees to have their day in court and shine a light on corporate misconduct. Meanwhile, several rulings have also limited the reach of Concepcion in the employment context including the National Labor Relations Board’s landmark decision in D.R. Horton, Inc. and California state court decisions, like Brown v. Ralphs, 197 Cal. App. 4th 489 (2011).
As the Arbitration Fairness Act continues to inch its way through Congress, join us for a brown bag discussion of the current state of employee rights in the arbitration context, what advocates can do to keep the courthouse doors open for workers, and explore legal strategy for fighting forced arbitration.
The Access to Justice series will focus attention on ways to ensure that our justice system is truly available to all.  Programs in the series will highlight barriers to access to our civil justice system, including efforts to strip courts of jurisdiction, raise procedural hurdles, remove classes of cases from federal court, insulate wrongdoers from suit, limit remedies and deprive legal aid services of resources.
