Join leading litigators of the Canadian and American bars as they unite to share their secrets for successful courtroom advocacy with you. A special presentation of The Advocates' Society and the American College of Trial Lawyers, Trial Advocacy in Action isn’t just CPD — it’s an experience! Using the imagined murder trial of Al Capone for the "St. Valentine’s Day Massacre," our faculty will pull back the curtain on their approaches to strong trial advocacy. Sit back and enjoy the show as they perform engaging, entertaining demonstrations of the trial, from beginning to end. Hear judges and top practitioners break down how to master each core trial advocacy skill along the way. Leave with plenty of practical tips and memorable examples you can implement immediately to improve your advocacy, including how to: • Prepare for and conduct a trial with purpose • Deliver powerful opening statements • Conduct impactful examinations • Persuade courts and juries with your closing arguments • Give judges what they want • Keep your cool in the heat of a high stakes trial Program Chairs: Tom Curry, Lenczner Slaght Paul Mark Sandler, Shapiro Sher Guinot & Sandler Register here: https://ow.ly/MAff50QShal

As we head into the New Year, I'm reflecting on what Lawndale Christian Legal Center accomplished in 2023 and looking ahead optimistically into 2024. I am sending a big thank you to everyone who supported the impact we are having on the communities we serve. If you have not made a year end gift to LCLC, you have one more day to donate here: https://lnkd.in/gE669Tyz If you have already donated, I hope you take a moment this weekend to reflect on the difference you have made -- the lives you have touched that will be better off because of you. The impact we've had is the result of all of us working together to make it happen. THANK YOU! Let's play the 2023 highlight reel (enjoy!): - Robin Steinberg, the national leader in community holistic defense, is supporting us with help from The Bail Project, one of our best-ever partners - Nearly completed the consenting process for our RCT -- 630 of the 660 consented with more coming in this week - Secured $3MM funding to sustain our successful roll out of Community Release with Support + expand into Maywood and Rolling Meadows - Illinois ended cash bail in September! And we are proving it's safer and successful! - Deepened our partnership with CLIHTF to connect our clients to housing - Awarded $5MM in city funding to house our clients, the largest investment in our clients' housing needs likely in the history of Chicago! - Raised $21MM in capital funding to construct our Residential Workforce Development Center! - Completed nine-month SWOT analysis and have been implementing solutions since - Unprecedented earned media coverage due to the great work our team is doing! The impact we're having is undeniable: - Community Holistic Defense -- ~340 youth served annually, 82.2% not catching new cases while in our care, 75% are being connected to critical social supports, 53% progressed in employment, 66% progressed in school, 46% no permanent felony records, 62% stay home instead of prison - Community Release with Support -- ~3,000 clients served annually, 98% returned to court, 64% cases dismissed, 100% received court reminders and transportation as needed, 57% linked to social services pending trial - Restorative Justice Community Courts -- we started the first in North Lawndale, two more have been added, 219+ emerging adults served, 84% charged with felony weapon possession, 86.9% have not caught new cases compared to 34.8% from a matched control group (conversely only 13.1% caught new cases in RJCC vs. 65.2% outside of RJCC) - Housing Justice -- We linked ~50 clients to housing with over 100 family members + another forty families in the queue for 2024. We go into 2024 with the unique expertise and value we have created in the field of criminal justice over the last fourteen years. We go into 2024 with a bright future, bold vision, and a great team of people dedicated to making our world better. Happy New Year!
