 \, restorative justice\, criminal/immigration law\, post-conviction relief
 \, participants will be presented with critical legal information that wil

 s they serve.\n\nLaw as a Community\n\nSessions will be offered multiple t
 imes throughout the year. Each session will cover all the below topics:\n\
 nLegal Protocols\nFocus is on how practitioners must manage interactions w
 ith those they meet as part of their work in order to avoid legal exposure
 . More specifically\, discussion of how to: handle correspondence and phon

 onspiracy entrapments\; handle interactions with law enforcement\; and avo
 id obstruction of justice\, interference with police investigations and re
 sisting arrest charges.\n\nAlternative Dispute Resolution\nWe delve into t
 he process of gang mediation and non-violent conflict resolution\, includi
 ng learning restorative justice principles. We discuss the benefits of alt
 ernative dispute resolution practices in comparison to the criminal legal

 milar work.\n\nLocal and State Post-conviction Relief &amp\; Resentencing

 rge Gascon. We will also look at recent laws implemented to remove barrier
 s to entry such as changes to the expungement process\, SB 731 (Sealing an
 d Destroying Criminal Records) and the Fair Chance Act (“Ban the Box”)
  in California. We will also discuss commutations\, certificates of rehabi
 litation and pardon laws.\n\nCriminal and Immigration Legal Considerations
 \nWe will focus on criminal laws that participants likely encounter\, incl
 uding constitutional issues like stops and searches\, recalling warrants\,
  bail reform laws and probation/parole concerns. We will also explore the 
 intersection of immigration and criminal law\, including an overview of th
 e relationship and cooperation between state and federal agencies and exam
 ining the Trust Act as it relates to the limitations of immigration holds 
 requested by the federal government on local jails.\n\nPolice Misconduct a
 nd Excessive Force\nWe focus on how to document incidents of excessive for
 ce while also avoiding legal liability. Additionally\, we discuss administ

 o both file police misconduct complaints and preserve critical evidence. W
