SUMMARY:Mental Health and Substance Abuse in the Post-Pandemic World
DESCRIPTION:About the Program: \nNow\, two years after the COVID-19 pandemic-related closures\, in what many describe as the “New Normal\,” there has been a worldwide focus on the effects of the pandemic upon mental health. The World Health Organization’s campaign to make mental health and well-being for all a global priority included declaring October 10 to be World Mental Health Day. In addition to the WHO’s declaring a global mental health crisis\, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that substance abuse and drug overdose deaths greatly increased during the pandemic. \nPre-pandemic\, the stresses of the legal profession put lawyers at risk for abuse of legal and illegal substances. Now that courts have reopened\, and in-person jury trials have resumed\, has the legal profession returned to the pre-pandemic baseline? \nThe presentation will discuss mental well-being and substance use disorders in the legal profession today. \nThis program is FREE for BHBA Members and $35 for Non Members.

SUMMARY:Southern California Mediation Association 34th Annual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Caruso School of Law at Pepperdine University \nMediation is essentially facilitated negotiation. Each mediation involves unique circumstances that impact the role of the mediator and invoke the practical skills required to resolve the dispute. Regardless of the nature of the dispute\, the mediator’s role as “negotiation coach” is critical. Indeed\, mediation success is commonly measured by negotiation success. In this program\, Stacie Hausner and Judge Alexander Williams\, experienced mediators with ADR Services\, Inc.\, will examine best practices during the negotiation stage(s) of mediation to identify opportunities to advance the pursuit of equity\, diversity and inclusion and to promote recognition and respect for differences in the world of mediation. \nMembers: $345 ($295 Early Bird before October 21st)\nNon-Members: $445 ($395 Early Bird before October 21st)

SUMMARY:USC Gould School of Law 48th Annual Trust & Estate Conference
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Bonnie Olsen\, geropsychologist and expert in decisional capacity\, will discuss the development of the Judicial Guardianship Evaluation Worksheet\, a tool for probate judges to evaluate relevant factors in assessing the propriety and scope of conservatorships for older adults. Dr. Olsen and her team developed the Worksheet at the behest of the Department of Justice as part of a national effort to advance conservatorship reform. The tool prompts the Court to consider the proposed conservatees’ retained capacities\, susceptibility to harm\, and less restrictive alternatives to preserve elder rights through targeted remedies. We are also pleased that Judge Paul Suzuki (Retired) and Dr. Olsen will complete the 45-minute presentation discussing how the Worksheet may impact consideration of evidence in probate matters. \nWestin Bonaventure Hotel\nLos Angeles\, California
