"Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in 3 generations" is a Scottish proverb that describes the cycle of families starting with little means who build their wealth through hard work, but by the time great-grandchildren are in charge, the family is back to where they started, with nothing.

As the summer has moved along, I have gotten deeper into the work at Brooklyn Defender Services through court observations, work on motions, trial preparation, and research assignments for open cases. I am getting a lot of first-hand experience observing hearings in family court, which has been very interesting to participate in. This week, I worked on preparing for a simultaneous permanency and motion hearing for a client. I prepared a digest for trial based on the ACS case notes available and used that to draft cross examination questions for the case planner during the hearings. To do this effectively, I also conducted research into legal arguments we were using to try to further our case, such as how certain factors in determining family reunification are defined in the law. It is exciting to learn how to prepare for trial and how to begin analyzing evidence in a way to be able to further our client’s case in court. It is exciting to learn how to prepare for trial and analyze evidence to help further our client’s case in court.

It's not what you know... It's not who you know.... It's who knows you. When you "own" a specific problem, you become the person people go to to get it solved. It makes it easy for people to tell others about you and refer business to you. A great example of this in the online course world is Susan Garrett. Susan is a dog trainer. If she had an "I'll train your dog to be "good" course," she would have struggled. But she led with a specific problem... Recall - "I'll show you how to get your dog to come back to you every time" She became known for recall, and because she was solving a specific problem, her students saw real and demonstratable results and referred others to the program. The great thing is that once you have a client, you can offer them a wider selection of services on the back end. It also helps if the problem you own is the top-of-mind, #1 pain point that's keeping your audience awake at night.

It's been just over three years since Detroit received federal funding from President Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
