SUMMARY:Better Serving Older or Disabled Veterans: A Special Session on the Intersections Between Veterans Benefits\, Social Security\, and Medicaid (FREE)
DESCRIPTION:Why You Should Attend\nWell over one-half of the American Veteran population is elderly or disabled and entitled to a wide-range of government benefits— from income to health care to in-home services. These benefits can help a veteran and their family stave off poverty\, prolong independence\, and receive the supportive services they need to thrive. Yet\, while many elder law\, disability rights\, and benefits practitioners are versed in Social Security and Medicaid\, few attorneys are aware of how these benefits intersect with benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. \nAs part of PLI’s Advocating for Veterans series\, this free half-day session will empower practitioners with the tools they need to maximize their Veteran clients’ income and well-being\, and to better meet their health care and long-term needs. More specifically\, expert veterans and government benefits attorneys will provide practitioners with an in-depth understanding of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ lesser known Non-Service-Connected Pension benefit and break down the interplay between VA Benefits\, Social Security benefits\, Medicaid\, and In-Home Supportive Services. \nWhat You Will Learn\n• How to determine whether a Veteran is eligible for VA Non-Service-Connected Pension\, including how to reduce a Veteran’s countable income in order to ensure entitlement and maximize income\n• How VA Benefits and Social Security benefits intersect\, including how they offset one another\, the main differences between VA Non-Service-Connected Pension and SSI\, and the impact of VA Non-Service-Connected Pension on SSI\n• How to prolong a Veteran’s independence by using VA Non-Service-Connected Pension with or without In-Home Supportive Services to pay for in-home care and assisted living\n• How to expand a Veteran’s long-term care options using VA Benefits\, Medicaid\, and In Home Supportive Services \nWho Should Attend\n• Attorneys and advocates that work with or are interested in serving American Veterans will benefit from this program.\n• Elder law\, disability rights advocates\, and government benefits advocates may find the session particularly applicable to their practice areas.\n• IMPORTANT! If you are a VA-accredited attorney and have already completed the VA’s initial CLE requirement\, this program may satisfy the VA’s continuing CLE requirement to maintain accreditation.\n1. Within 12 months after accreditation\, you are required to complete three hours of qualifying CLE. This program does not satisfy that initial CLE requirement. However\, PLI offers another free program that does meet the initial CLE requirement: Advocating for Veterans: The Basics on VA Benefits\, Discharge Upgrades and Veteran Cultural Competency 2017\n2. Once an attorney has completed their initial CLE requirement\, the VA requires ongoing CLE to maintain accreditation. This program does satisfy the VA’s CLE requirement that accredited attorneys complete an additional three hours of CLE not later than 3 years from the date of initial accreditation and every 2 years thereafter.\n3. Attorneys and other advocates who become accredited will be listed on a national VA list\, and are entitled to represent veterans in their claims for benefits\, on a pro bono basis\, and for attorney’s fees on appeals\, where they are available.\n4. For additional information\, please see the FAQ page on the VA’s Office of General Counsel website.\n• Pursuant to 38 C.F.R. § 14.629(b)(1)(iii) and (iv)\, To maintain accreditation\, agents and attorneys are required to complete an additional 3 hours of qualifying CLE on veterans benefits law and procedure not later than 3 years from the date of initial accreditation and every 2 years thereafter. To qualify under this subsection\, a CLE course must be approved for a minimum of 3 hours of CLE credit by any State bar association and\, at a minimum\, must cover the following topics: representation before VA\, claims procedures\, basic eligibility for VA benefits\, right to appeal\, disability compensation (38 U.S.C. Chapter 11)\, dependency and indemnity compensation (38 U.S.C. Chapter 13)\, and pension (38 U.S.C. Chapter 15). \nRegister here: https://www.pli.edu/Content/Seminar/Better_Serving_Older_or_Disabled_Veterans/_/N-4kZ1z0zugw?ID=327907&tab=0&t=YBA7_8AEM1&utm_source=8AEM1&utm_medium=EMAIL&utm_campaign=YBA7&spMailingID=12368712&spUserID=MTk1MjIzNjgxMjI0S0&spJobID=1281445708&spReportId=MTI4MTQ0NTcwOAS2

SUMMARY:Wrongful Conviction 2017: Litigating Exoneration Cases (FREE)
DESCRIPTION:Why You Should Attend \nThe conviction of innocent individuals is among the issues getting increased attention as our nation looks more closely at our criminal justice system. While there are a number of ways individuals can be wrongly convicted\, successfully reversing a conviction is incredibly difficult. This is an area where competent legal representation can make a big difference and where there are myriad opportunities for lawyers interested in providing pro bono legal services. Many of the recent DNA and non-DNA exonerations have occurred as a result of work from innocence organizations in collaboration with pro bono partners. \nWhat You Will Learn \nThe contributing causes of wrongful conviction and how to recognize these issues\nUsing DNA to show innocence\nPost-conviction re-investigation and fact development\nWho Should Attend \nThis program is designed for lawyers who advocate post-conviction claims of innocence or who are interested in getting involved in this area. Prisoners’ rights advocates\, as well as lawyers or law students considering pro bono representation or who want to hear about the legal issues that arise in connection with exoneration work will find this program especially valuable.

SUMMARY:The Ethics of Electronic Information 2017: Competence\, Confidentiality\, and Other Ethical Conundrums
DESCRIPTION:Electronic information is all-pervasive and its use and misuse can pose serious ethical problems for attorneys. Attorneys use electronic information to communicate with the public and with clients\, to advertise their services\, and to prosecute and defend litigation. Electronic communications have now expanded to include social media and that media poses expanded opportunities and risks for attorneys.\nLearn about the ethical issues arising out of electronic information from our diverse faculty of private practitioners as well as a sitting Justice of the New York Supreme Court. This highly topical program will address the cutting edge ethical issues arising out of the electronic information that attorneys use on a daily basis. \nThis program will benefit every attorney who uses or must deal with electronic information\, whether to advertise\, communicate or litigate. Whether you are in solo practice\, with a small or “mega” firm\, a corporation or a government agency\, knowledge of the ethical implications of electronic communications – including social media – is essential to the successful practice of law today and tomorrow.

SUMMARY:Advocating for Veterans: The Basics on VA Benefits\, Discharge Upgrades and Veteran Cultural Competency 2017 (FREE)
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT! If you get accredited by the VA before you attend this training\, the first three hours will satisfy the VA’s CLE requirement. \nAttorneys and other advocates must be accredited to practice before the VA.To obtain accreditation you must complete this form:www.va.gov/vaforms/va/pdf/VA21a.pdf.\nAccreditation by the VA may take several weeks\, so do not delay filing your application.You can speed up the process by emailing the form to: OGCAccreditationMailbox@va.gov.\nWithin 12 months after accreditation you are required to complete three hours of qualifying CLE. The morning session of this program satisfies that requirement\, but only if you have already received your accreditation from the VA. If you have not received it\, you should still watch this program\, but keep in mind that you will need to complete three additional hours of CLE within 12 months after receiving your accreditation.\nAttorneys and other advocates who become accredited will be listed on a national VA list\, and are entitled to represent veterans in their claims for benefits\, on a pro bono basis\, and for attorney’s fees on appeals\, where they are available. \nWhy You Should Attend\nThere are over 21 million veterans in the U.S.; many of them are not aware of the benefits to which they are entitled. Medical and financial assistance are available to those who have served in the military\, but many veterans most in need are not receiving VA benefits. Navigating the VA claims system and applying for discharge upgrades before the Department of Defense are difficult and complex processes. Attorneys play an essential role in removing barriers to VA benefits\, such as:\nLack of evidence to “service-connect” their injuries or disabilities.\nLack of current medical or mental health evidence documenting severity of symptoms for accurate disability ratings.\nVA eligibility determinations for those given less than fully honorable discharges for behaviors that were related to minor disciplinary infractions or symptoms of Post- Traumatic Stress or other service-related disabilities.\nWhat You Will Learn\nNearly 45% of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan seek compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for service related injuries; 30% of these veterans who file for VA benefits include claims for Post-Traumatic Stress. Many of those who should receive benefits will be denied. Many service members who may be VA eligible are unaware of their legal right to pursue VA benefits\, and of those who do apply\, more than 90% will be denied. All of them will wait months or years for the VA to issue decisions on their claims. Learn how to navigate the VA claims process and to become an effective advocate for veterans in need. This all-day program will provide an overview of VA disability law and military discharge review law. You will gain an understanding of different types of military discharges\, why they are important\, and how you can help veterans with less than Honorable discharges. \nThe three one-hour morning sessions provide the basics you need to represent veterans before the VA. It will also cover the interactions between VA benefits and other public benefits\, such as SSI and SSDI. The morning session fulfills the VA’s requirement for qualifying CLE within the first 12 months of your VA accreditation.\nThe 1:45 session\, Veteran Cultural Competency: Combat to Community will help veterans’ advocates to understand the challenges that veterans face in their transition to a noncombat community\, and provide tips on interviewing and providing legal services to veterans with disabilities.\nThe 2:45 to 5:00 sessions will provide attorneys with the tools that they need to assist veterans in upgrading their discharge status and removing stigmatizing information from their discharge documents.\nWho Should Attend\nAttorneys seeking meaningful pro bono opportunities and any advocate who wants to help change the life of a veteran with a disability. Attorneys seeking to meet VA’s CLE requirements for new and continuing VA accreditation should also attend. Finally\, attorneys who hope to expand their practice areas to include veterans’ cases where fees are available should register for one or more of the sessions.

SUMMARY:Ethical Issues in Working with Pro Bono Clients in 2017
DESCRIPTION:Pro Bono clients are like any other clients in many ways. But some Pro Bono clients present ethical issues for attorneys that are often different than presented by fee-paying or contingent fee clients. Lawyers sometimes face difficult questions about defining who the client is\, communication with clients\, clients with diminished capacity\, conflicts with fee-paying clients\, and many others. Representation of nonprofit organizations also can present difficult ethical issues not faced with most for profit organizations. \nAs part of the ABA’s National Celebrate Pro Bono Week\, please join Toby J. Rothschild\, Of Counsel to OneJustice and retired general counsel of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles\, for a free One-Hour Briefing as the following topics are addressed: \nIn brief\, what is Pro Bono?\nWhat ethical issues can arise in representation of Pro Bono clients?\nHow can you make sure your representation is conducted within the Rules of Professional Conduct?\nHow do ethical issues apply in hypothetical situations?\nDon’t miss this important free presentation!
