Gender Affirming Care and Transgender Rights: What Lawyers Need to Know
Join us for this timely panel discussing the current state of Transgender Rights and Gender Affirming Care both nationally and on a state level. Gender-affirming care, a medically necessary model of care, supports transgender and non-binary individuals by aligning their physical and social aspects with their gender identity, and is increasingly under attack, leading to state-level bans and legal challenges. Our panel of legal experts will discuss current federal efforts to ban gender affirming care and severely curtail the rights of Transgender Individuals. They will also discuss so of the ways that Illinois is working to protect these rights. LAGBAC will co-host the CLE.

This panel discussion will highlight the key issues surrounding the “DREAM” Act a.k.a. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which faces an uncertain future. The presentation will begin by discussing DACA’s limitations, which creates adversity for the approximately 530,000 DACA recipients that live in the United States, as well as many others that are eligible to apply for DACA. The CLE will then explore DACA’s impact on the livelihoods of DACA recipients, including family, education, travel and employment. Lastly, the presentation will focus on the administrative challenges that DACA has faced and the current outlook of the program. If time allows, members of the audience may also have the opportunity to ask panelists questions. HLAI will co-host the CLE. Each section will include a discussion about how attorneys and legal professionals can lead community discussions and the drive towards reformative policies for the benefit of DACA recipients.

Join attorneys Nancy Vizer and Richard Hanus for a panel conversation about the current legal landscape on immigration law with a focus on deportations. The program will start with a background on immigration applications and the risks noncitizen applicants face, including scenarios where their status could be jeopardized or lead to being placed in deportation proceedings. We will then discuss the class of activities that could make someone deportable as well as various defenses or requests for relief to deportation. The conversation will end with an overview of deportation proceedings and what rights potential deportees have in the context of these proceedings. Throughout the panel discussion, as appropriate, presenters will discuss their experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds in the immigration law context and provide guidance to help practitioners gain cultural competency. Q&A will follow. The panel discussion will be co-hosted and facilitated by the Decalogue Society of Lawyers.

Mental health parity describes the equal treatment of mental health conditions and substance use disorders in insurance plans. With the changing landscape of State and Federal Law, what can we expect from insurance coverage now and in the future.
“Uniformity and mental health are incompatible too. . . Man is not made to be an automaton, and if he becomes one, the basis for mental health is destroyed.” – Aldous Huxley
Mental health parity describes the equal treatment of mental health conditions and substance use disorders in insurance plans. With the changing landscape of State and Federal Law, what can we expect from insurance coverage now and in the future.
Artificial intelligence is an essential tool for all disciplines, including medicine. Should mental health practice be different than other medical practices? How will it be regulated and should it be? Are current laws up to speed with the use of AI for notetaking, diagnosis, and therapy?

“Scaling” is a technique that can help you put your priorities and problems into perspective. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to craft and use scaling questions to blunt perfectionist tendencies, engage in cognitive reframing, and boost motivation.
On A Scale From 1 to 10…Meet Your Personal and Professional Goals with Scaling Techniques
“Scaling” is a technique that can help you put your priorities and problems into perspective. No matter what your short-term or long-term goals are, “scaling” questions can help you identify, set, measure, and ultimately achieve them. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn how to craft and use scaling questions to blunt perfectionist tendencies, engage in cognitive reframing, and boost motivation. We will also discuss potential drawbacks to using them and when it might make sense to adjust or dispense with scaling questions altogether before working through a tool created to start applying these principles to your own professional development.

At this program you will learn how to create a proper trial record that will result in greater success before courts of review. (HYBRID SEMINAR)
This is a hybrid event with an in-person and a webinar option. Please select the appropriate button when registering if you plan to attend in-person. Event will take place at the Chicago Bar Association, 321 S. Plymouth Court, Chicago, IL 60604.
As was famously stated in the case of Protect Our Waters vs. County of Merced, "If it is not in the record, it did not happen.” Courts of review in Illinois deal with thousands of cases where the record is lacking with reasons ranging from lack of providing trial documents to not preserving objections. An insufficient record may be why many appeals are not taken, or the outcome is one the parties did not expect. Even seasoned trial counsel and members of the judiciary contribute to creating insufficient trial records. At this program you will learn how to create a proper trial record that will result in greater success before courts of review.
Topics of discussion will include:
- Matters conducted off-the-record
- Clarifying the record
- Impounding documents/record
- SCRs 604(a) & 455
- Post trial matters
- Technology - how technology has changed the appellate practice and how to get the document in the record through utilizing technologyPanelists:
Enrique Abraham, Cook County Assistant States Attorney & Supervisor over Criminal and Civil Appeals
Ginger Leigh Odom, Assistant Appellate Defender, State of Illinois
Justice Jesse G. Reyes, Illinois Appellate Court, First District
Gretchen Harris Sperry, Partner, Gordon Rees and Former President of the Appellate Lawyers AssociationThis program is co-sponsored by The Chicago Bar Association, the Diversity Scholarship Foundation, Hispanic Lawyers Association of Illinois (HLAI) and the Northwest Suburban Bar Association.
