SUMMARY:Interaction with Law Enforcement Professional Understanding\, and L
 egal Liability: November 21
DESCRIPTION:Participating violence prevention specialists/public safety pra
 ctitioners will learn about the laws that apply and the legal issues relat
 ed to their work\, and how to manage interactions that may have legal impl
 ications. Covering a diverse range of legal areas\, including civil rights
 \, restorative justice\, criminal/immigration law\, post-conviction relief
 \, participants will be presented with critical legal information that wil
 l allow them to better navigate their roles as advocates in the communitie
 s they serve.\n\nThe Law as a Community Resource\n\nSession will cover all
  the below topics:\n\nLegal Protocols\nFocus is on how practitioners must 
 manage interactions with those they meet as part of their work in order to
  avoid legal exposure. More specifically\, discussion of how to: handle co
 rrespondence and phone conversations with incarcerated people\; avoid aidi
 ng and abetting and conspiracy entrapments\; handle interactions with law 
 enforcement\; and avoid obstruction of justice\, interference with police 
 investigations and resisting arrest charges.\n\nAlternative Dispute Resolu
 tion\nWe delve into the process of gang mediation and non-violent conflict
  resolution\, including learning restorative justice principles. We discus
 s the benefits of alternative dispute resolution practices in comparison t
 o the criminal legal system and embracing a trauma-informed and holistic a
 pproach to conflict resolution. Attention is given to the legal limitation
 s participants face when it comes to the privilege of confidentiality enjo
 yed by other practitioners\, such as lawyers\, doctors\, and clergy\, who 
 may be engaging in similar work.\n\nLocal and State Post-conviction Relief
  &amp\; Resentencing Laws\nWe examine laws that participants should be awa
 re of in order to better serve incarcerated and\npreviously incarcerated i
 ndividuals they work with. Specifically\, we take an in-depth look at the 
 recent resentencing laws including AB 600 (Judge Initiated Resentencing)\,
  the Racial Justice Act and the Special Directive 20-14 implemented by LA 
 District Attorney George Gascon. We will also look at recent laws implemen
 ted to remove barriers to entry such as changes to the expungement process
 \, SB 731 (Sealing and Destroying Criminal Records) and the Fair Chance Ac
 t (“Ban the Box”) in California. We will also discuss commutations\, c
 ertificates of rehabilitation and pardon laws.\n\nCriminal and Immigration
  Legal Considerations\nWe will focus on criminal laws that participants li
 kely encounter\, including constitutional issues like stops and searches\,
  recalling warrants\, bail reform laws and probation/parole concerns. We w
 ill also explore the intersection of immigration and criminal law\, includ
 ing an overview of the relationship and cooperation between state and fede
 ral agencies and examining the Trust Act as it relates to the limitations 
 of immigration holds requested by the federal government on local jails.\n
 \nPolice Misconduct and Excessive Force\nWe focus on how to document incid
 ents of excessive force while also avoiding legal liability. Additionally\
 , we discuss administrative remedies available to address officer miscondu
 ct or abuse and how to both file police misconduct complaints and preserve
  critical evidence. We will also discuss a broad overview of relevant fede
 ral and state civil rights laws\, including Brady violations\, habeas peti
 tions\, and rights surrounding community protest.
