SUMMARY:Core CLE: Bankruptcy
DESCRIPTION:This training includes a panel of three bankruptcy attorneys who have track records of successfully working with low-income clients to effectively discharge their debts via a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  While the primary focus of the training will be on how getting the case off to a good start is essential to working successfully with your bankruptcy client\, the panel will also share best practices for getting the case across the finish line and receiving a Discharge Order.  Additionally\, it will include a brief review of the state and federal exemptions available to protect a debtor’s property in bankruptcy.  This training is appropriate for volunteers who are interested in taking their first bankruptcy case or newer bankruptcy volunteers who are interested in honing their practice. \nPresenters: \nRon Lundquist has practiced exclusively in Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy since 1999. In that time\, Ron has successfully helped thousands of Minnesota families\, businesses and individuals get a fresh start.  Ron graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1992\, and from William Mitchell College of Law in 1996. \nDave Peterson has volunteered with VLN since 2020\, first with Letters to Creditors\, then briefly with housing\, before signing up with the Bankruptcy Clinic where he has helped many clients with Chapter 7 bankruptcies. Dave graduated from William Mitchell College of Law in 2014.  He also has experience with probate and real estate. \nChris Kramer has practiced bankruptcy law since 2012.  Chris started working at Volunteer Lawyers Network in 2017\, and he is the manager and resource attorney of VLN’s Bankruptcy Program.  Chris graduated from Hamline University Law School in 2011. \nCLE: 1 hour of CLE Credit to be applied for.  \nRegistration is required. Register by clicking here.

SUMMARY:VLN and State Support Present: How to Determine if Minnesota Criminal Records can be Expunged? An Introduction to Merit-Screening Criminal Expungement Cases for Pro Bono Attorneys
DESCRIPTION:Details:\nMany people who are convicted of crimes in Minnesota state court suffer collateral consequences of the convictions long after the terms or their sentences are completed. Many former defendants find themselves denied employment and rental housing opportunities as a result of the existence of their criminal records and the increasing availability of information regarding charges and convictions available online. Volunteer Lawyers Network is currently experiencing a surge in potential clients who need free legal help determining whether and when their criminal records might be eligible for expungement. If you are interested in helping with this all-too-common legal problem but don’t know anything about criminal expungement\, then this CLE is for you. This introductory CLE will explain the basic differences between statutory expungement\, inherent authority expungement\, and prosecutor-led expungement. This CLE will cover crime-free waiting periods that former defendants are required to meet in order to be eligible for statutory expungement and will also cover recent changes to the law. \nPresenters:\nElizabeth Fowlds is the Criminal Expungement Resource Attorney and Program Manager at Volunteer Lawyers Network\, a position she has held since July 2023. Prior to joining VLN\, Elizabeth practiced as a public defender in Sonoma County\, California; Mendocino County\, California; and Hennepin County Minnesota. \nGlen Drew is an attorney and the Director of Legal Programs at Volunteer Lawyers Network and previously coordinated operation of VLN’s Conciliation Court Clinic for over a decade. Prior to joining VLN\, Glen was a volunteer in the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps. \nClick here to register!
