School Law 101 for Family Lawyers
The world of school law is completely foreign to most family law attorneys, yet many (if not most) of our clients have children who attend school. Often, our clients disagree about which school path is best for their child, or have a child with special needs and disagree about the best interventions (or even whether to evaluate the child for interventions at all). We will explore the universe of information family law attorneys and judicial officers ought to know about school law and special education, provide a glossary of terms, and offer practical guidance for assisting parents navigating disputes in these areas.

Elimination of Bias: Mental Health, Well-being, and Implicit Bias in a Post-COVID Environment
Life and work during the COVID pandemic have been challenging for many people, including legal professionals. These challenges are multifaceted and, at times, seemingly unrelenting. While a post-COVID world may seem distant right now, current circumstances give rise to unique stressors. As the profession adjusts to rapidly changing circumstances, those quick decisions we must make may be based on implicit biases and assumptions. The pandemic has affected people differently. For some, the pandemic exacerbated an underlying health or addiction issue; for others, a new problem developed. For many in our profession, stigma continues to prevent them from seeking the help they need. This program will address the profession’s changing landscape, explore the effects of implicit bias and stigma, and offer perspectives and coping tools.
