Review of our January CLE Events--Helping Incarcerated Parents

In January, the new directors of the Parental Defense Alliance-Grant Dickinson and David Boyer-traveled to Brigham City and to Cedar City for two lunch CLE events.  They were able to connect with the regional Parental Defense attorneys and provide some information about representing incarcerated parents.  

The most important thing to remember when representing incarcerated parents is to educate the Court of its heightened responsibilities to incarcerated parents and to ask for services.  The only reason services can be denied is if the Court finds that the services would be detrimental to the child.  

We have posted the slideshow below for your review.  (It is also available on the website HERE).  We also anticipate making the entire training available online at a future date.
