SUMMARY:First Amendment Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Viewpoint Discrimination Doctrines and Opposing Playbooks: From Mosely to the Ten Commandments\nQuickly spot unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination in disguise; accurately respond to crises on your watch when citizens force their inflammatory opinions; and beware of the unsettled status of town square cyber embodiments of civic life. Constitutional freedom of expression legal theory and application use Supreme Court precedent\, doctrines\, tests and citizen playbooks to deliver a memorable course. Attorney Martinez and Prof. Owsley examine two sides of the same expression coin as forced speech and viewpoint discrimination\, including recognition of and limitations in physical and cyber public forums.  Current activist Stevens details malicious compliance with Festivus Poles\, book bans\, and classroom “In God We Trust” and Ten Commandments signs. Historical civil rights activists\, Barnett and Hon. Hall\, impart their legal wisdom and recount their foundational Supreme Court companion cases of viewpoint discrimination in Police Dept. of City of Chicago v. Mosley\, 408 U.S. 92 (1972) and Grayned v. City of Rockford\, 408 U.S. 104 (1972)(also clarifying time\, place and manner regulation). Questions are recommended to be submitted in advance for inclusion. \nSpeaker: Chaz Stevens\, Teresa Martinez\, Harvey Barnett\, Hon. Sophia Hall & Brian L. Owsley

SUMMARY:Police Liability & Section 1983 Webinar – Free Live For IMLA Members
DESCRIPTION:Artificial Intelligence (AI) In Law Enforcement: Balancing Innovation\, Ethics\, and Risk Management For Municipal Lawyers\nCLE available to Kitchen Sink Subscribers and in some cases to others but fees may apply. \nArtificial intelligence (AI) offers transformative possibilities for law enforcement\, from streamlining administrative tasks to improving operational efficiency. When you mention AI in law enforcement\, many will think of facial recognition\, firearms detection systems\, document and video redaction\, and automated report writing. While all these are AI uses in law enforcement\, do you know how your police officers are managing them? Are they attempting to use AI Chatbots as an “easy button”? Are they aware of AI’s susceptibility to bias and the potential for bias and errors\, and how this can create increased risk in future litigation? \nLegal advisors must ensure that their police leaders are using AI ethically by providing robust oversight and clear communication about their applications to their members. By prioritizing ethical considerations and keeping humans at the center of decision-making\, law enforcement can navigate the complexities of AI while fostering public confidence and managing risk. Legal advisors will learn why a little preemptive interaction now may help prevent surprises in future litigation discovery. \nSpeaker: Chief (Ret.) Michael Ranalli

SUMMARY:LGLC What to Expect from the Current Supreme Court Term: Cases Impacting Local Government - This is not an IMLA Webinar
DESCRIPTION:What to Expect from the Current Supreme Court Term: Cases Impacting Local Government\n\nThis is NOT an IMLA webinar and CLE will not be offered.\nKitchen Sink Subscribers will need to register for this program\, it will not be automatically sent. \nHosted by the Local Government Legal Center (LGLC)\, join legal experts in a discussion of the new Supreme Court term and what decisions local governments should watch. The Supreme Court will rule on several major cases this term\, including issues related to: \n\nWhether providing a former homeowner with the difference of the sales price and the tax debt after a tax foreclosure on real property instead of the fair market value and the tax debt constitutes either a Taking under the Fifth Amendment or an Excessive Fine under the Eighth Amendment\nThe standard under the Fourth Amendment for warrantless entries into a home for non-criminal emergencies\nA Second Amendment challenge to state laws that ban conceal carry permit holders from bringing firearms onto private property absent the property owners express consent\nPresidential authority to fire independent heads of agencies\n\nThe webinar will also discuss several cases of importance to local governments from the Court’s emergency order docket as well as other cases on the Court’s docket that may impact local governments’ finances and authority. The LGLC is a coalition of national local government organizations formed in 2023 by the National Association of Counties (NACo)\, National League of Cities (NLC) and International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA) to provide education to local governments regarding the Supreme Court and its impact on local governments and local officials and to advocate for local government positions at the Supreme Court in appropriate cases. Visit the Local Government Legal Center to learn more. \nSpeaker: Amanda Karras\, Gregory G. Garre & Meaghan VerGow

SUMMARY:Ethics Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Expectations for Attorney-Client Relationships: Establishing Clear\, Strong & Effective Commitments\nWhen representing local governments\, the Client is the entity (as an organization).  Elected officers\, appointed officials\, and staff members may be representatives of the Client. While the Attorney may work closely with those individuals\, they typically are not the Clients.  Nonetheless\, for purposes of this document\, representatives of the local government are referred to as “Clients.”  Although each arrangement will vary\, there are certain essential elements of successful Attorney-Client relationships that tend to provide a solid foundation.  This presentation outlines recommended mutual expectations between Attorneys and the local government Clients they serve. Its purpose is to promote professionalism\, accountability\, and effective collaboration in the delivery of municipal legal services. The presentation references the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct\, specifically 1.1\, 1.2\, 1.3\, 1.4\, 1.6\, 1.7\, 1.8\, 1.13\, 2.1\, 4.1\, and 8.4. \nSpeaker: Alan Bojorquez & Kuruvilla Oommen

SUMMARY:Mental Health/Substance Abuse Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Staying Safe and Sound for the Holidays – Strategies for the Legal Professional\nHolidays are often associated with joy and excitement\, but they can be stressful\, overwhelming\, and challenging as well. For some\, holidays bring up feelings of grief\, isolation\, disappointment\, and sadness. The holiday season can quickly bring increased stress and anxiety to members of the legal profession whose lives are already filled to the brim with those emotions. \nWith the alarming prevalence of substance use and mental health disorders in the legal profession\, it is imperative that we are all armed with the knowledge and insight of how to approach someone who may be struggling. Certain approaches yield greater results than others. The “Intervention” methods shown on television\, while often compelling\, don’t typically produce excellent results – especially with members of the legal profession. \nAs lawyers\, we all know that language is often the key to success. Why should we expect it to differ in the life and death struggle to help someone who suffers from alcohol or substance misuse or a mental health disorder? With the alarming number of suicides in our profession\, it tells us that people would rather die than ask for help – and this must stop. \nMr. Quinn will discuss: \n\nRecognize that one in three legal professionals will struggle with substance use and/or a mental health disorder at some point in their legal careers.\nSpot the signs of impairment and learn the “Motivational Interventions” approach that yields results and saves lives.\nThe confidential\, free\, safe\, and supportive services for lawyers\, judges\, their family members and law students that are available through Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers.\nThe barriers that exist that prevent lawyers and judges from asking for help with an alcohol/substance misuse or mental health disorder.\nIdentify the parameters of Rule of Professional Conduct 8.3 (c) – and the safe harbor that it provides to protect attorneys working with an approved lawyers assistance program or who contact a LAP on behalf of an attorney or judge who is struggling.\n\nSpeaker: Brian S. Quinn
