SUMMARY:Free Speech Webinar - Free Live For IMLA Members
DESCRIPTION:First Amendment Audits – How to Handle and Protect Against Liability\nCLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nThere has been an increase in private citizens\, known as First Amendment Auditors\, engaging in activities against local governments designed to provoke a response that violates the First Amendment. First Amendment audits typically involve an individual photographing or filming his or her surroundings from a public space\, and is often categorized by its practitioners as activism and citizen journalism designed to test whether local government officials will uphold the auditor’s constitutional rights – including the right to photograph and video record in a public space. There is a growing consensus of federal Courts of Appeals holding that the First Amendment generally protects the rights of citizens to film or record public officials\, including police officers\, performing their duties in public. However\, the right to film is not absolute\, as it is subject to a reasonable time\, place and manner restriction. It is important for local governments to understand the rights involved and how to distinguish protected behavior from unprotected behavior\, so as to ensure these matters are appropriately handled by local government officials in order to limit potential liability. \nSpeaker: James Benjamin & Bambi Glenn

SUMMARY:Ethics Webinar
DESCRIPTION:My Client\, My Enemy? Ethical Challenges When Representing Cities\nThis presentation will discuss ABA Rules 1.1\, 1.2\, 1.3 and 1.7 when discussing the challenges faced with representing cities. Rule 1.3 addresses organizations as clients\, and Comment 1 touches upon entities acting through their officers\, directors\, etc. Complexities arise when Rule 1.1 calls for competent representation and the need to abide by client decisions under Rule 1.2\, but individual city officers find themselves in positions contrary to the city they serve. Rule 1.7 provides guidance on Conflicts of Interest. Rule 1.3 requires lawyers dealing with a city’s officers to explain the nature of the relationship and address when interests diverge. This presentation will provide a variety of scenarios and pose hypothetical questions illustrating these points. \nSpeaker: Alan Bojorquez

SUMMARY:Police Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Managing Risk by Embedding Mental Health Co-responders in Police Departments\nAs communities across the country continue to examine ways to improve outcomes and reduce the costs of interactions between police officers and individuals experiencing mental illness\, many have adopted a risk management approach.  This presentation will examine the potential benefits of embedding mental health co-responders within police departments.  The potential benefits include increasing the safety of those involved in such encounters; helping ensure that people experiencing mental illness are directed to the most appropriate resources; decreasing the number of police encounters with such individuals; reducing the costs associated with these encounters (including litigation costs); and improving the speed with which problems associated with these encounters are solved. \nSpeaker: Doug Hoffer
