Pappas\, Esq. Tue sday\, September 23\, 2014 The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offer s a broad range of benefits and services that can enhance the lives of man y clients and their families. Unfortunately\, veterans\, family members\, and attorneys are either unaware such programs exist or they are unable t o successfully navigate the byzantine VA bureaucracy. The purpose of this session is to highlight a specific benefit\, VA Pension\, in the hope tha t attorneys will routinely inquire about the veteran status of their clien ts\, and where applicable\, incorporate VA Pension eligibility into estate \, disability\, and long-term care planning. The term “pension” is misle ading because eligibility is not based on a veteran’s term of service\; ra ther\, VA Pension is a “needs based” program that provides a monthly cash benefit to eligible wartime veterans (up to $2\,085/month) or surviving de pendents (up to $1\,130/month). Historically\, VA Pension benefits were c onsidered “a polite form of welfare for wartime veterans”. More recently\ , VA Pension benefits have become particularly valuable to elderly veteran s and surviving spouses because they can help defray the high cost of long -term care. Because VA Pension is a “needs based” benefit\, dependent on qualifying assets and income\, estate planning opportunities exist to hel p clients who would not otherwise be eligible. That said\, planners must be especially careful because actions taken to create entitlement may have a negative impact on entitlement to other benefits (e.g. Supplemental Sec urity Income (SSI)\, Medical Assistance (Medicaid). Negative tax conseque nces may also occur (e.g. personal income tax\, realty transfer tax). Acc ordingly\, planners must be well versed not only in VA Pension law\, but i n other areas\, including but not limited to Medicaid\, trust and estate p lanning\, disability planning\, and personal income tax. This session wil l provide a general overview of the VA Pension program\, discuss basic pla nning strategies to help clients create eligibility\, and identify potenti al pitfalls.

The Departm ent of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers a broad range of benefits and services that can enhance the lives of many clients and their families. \; Unf ortunately\, veterans\, family members\, and attorneys are either unaware such programs exist or they are unable to successfully navigate the byzant ine VA bureaucracy. \; The purpose of this session is to highlight a s pecific benefit\, VA Pension\, in the hope that attorneys will routinely i nquire about the veteran status of their clients\, and where applicable\, incorporate VA Pension eligibility into estate\, disability\, and long-ter m care planning.
\n
\;
\n
The term &ldquo\;pension&rdquo\; is misleading because eligibility is not based o n a veteran&rsquo\;s term of service\; rather\, VA Pension is a &ldquo\;ne eds based&rdquo\; program that provides a monthly cash benefit to eligible wartime veterans (up to $2\,085/month) or surviving dependents (up to $1\ ,130/month). \; Historically\, VA Pension benefits were considered &ld quo\;a polite form of welfare for wartime veterans&rdquo\;. \; More re cently\, VA Pension benefits have become particularly valuable to elderly veterans and surviving spouses because they can help defray the high cost of long-term care.
\n
\;
\n
Because VA Pension is a &ldquo\ ;needs based&rdquo\; benefit\, dependent on qualifying assets and income\, estate planning opportunities exist to help clients who would not otherwi se be eligible. \; That said\, planners must be especially careful bec ause actions taken to create entitlement may have a negative impact on ent itlement to other benefits (e.g. Supplemental Security Income (SSI)\, Medi cal Assistance (Medicaid). \; Negative tax consequences may also occur (e.g. personal income tax\, realty transfer tax). \; Accordingly\, pl anners must be well versed not only in VA Pension law\, but in other areas \, including but not limited to Medicaid\, trust and estate planning\, dis ability planning\, and personal income tax. \; This session will provi de a general overview of the VA Pension program\, discuss basic planning s trategies to help clients create eligibility\, and identify potential pitf alls.

Richard E. Fehling\, Kevin Kercher\, Esq.\, and Jack Seitz\, Esq. Friday\, July 12\, 2013 Every Pre-Trial Order issued in ever y adversary proceeding in the Reading Vicinage of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania includes a requirement that counsel consider whether mediatio n is appropriate. Do you fear mediation? Do you regard agreeing to mediat ion as a sign of weakness? Do you regard mediation as a waste of time? May be it would help if you knew what to consider and how to prepare for media tion! Judge Rick Fehling and attorneys Kevin Kercher and Jack Seitz will e xplain their experiences as parties and as mediators. This seminar will h elp you focus on what to do and how to do it. Hear ideas about what the p resenters have done to try to resolve matters in the role of mediator and how they have participated as counsel for a party in mediation. Learn diff erent strategies and approaches that will change your thoughts about media tion. Perhaps not a miracle cure for litigation\, but mediation\, done ri ght\, can facilitate and shorten the time spent litigating and provide you with some “non-discovery” discovery that you did not know before. You ju st might actually settle the entire case! At this seminar you will learn d ifferent types of mediation and how to most efficiently prepare for yours. Go to your next mediation with a refined strategy for what you want and how you’ll get it.

Every Pre-Trial Order issued in every adversary proceeding in the R eading Vicinage of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania includes a require ment that counsel consider whether mediation is appropriate. \;
\n< ul>\n
Do you fear mediation?
\n
Do you regard agreeing to mediat ion as a sign of weakness?
\n
Do you regard mediation as a waste of time?

\n
At this seminar yo u will learn different types of mediation and how to most efficiently prep are for yours. \; Go to your next mediation with a refined strategy fo r what you want and how you&rsquo\;ll get it.

BALC LUNCH AND LEAR N SEMINAR

&ldquo\;Medication Misadventure Cases: 10 Tips for Attorneys&rdquo\;

Presented by: Allison A. Muller\, Pharm.D

Wednesday\, November2\ , 2016

Adverse drug reactions occur nearly every day and despite their dangers\, they are not always obvious or reported. \; The scenario of a patient starting a new drug and developing well-known side effects is a very cut and dried scenario. \; Such a scenario is the most straightforward\; however\, it is not the one we hear about most often. \; There are some scenarios to be aware of that should send up a red flag that harm may have been done to a patient due to a medication.& nbsp\; For attorneys\, there are several questions to explore and medical resources to browse when reviewing the details of a possible medication-re lated case. \; Attorneys can do their own investigation before conside ring a consult with a medical expert.

This one-hour presentation w ill cover:

Types of medication errors

Scenarios s urrounding medication misadventures leading to patient harm (e.g.\, the pa tient was given too much of a medication\, there were drug-drug or drug-di sease state interactions\, wrong drug was given\, or a drug was inappropri ately discontinues).

Red flags that there may have been an adver se drug reaction (e.g.\, unclear reasons for drug levels being drawn antid ote(s) given to a patient\, new symptoms following the start of a new medi cation)

The undocumented medication error or adverse event. It m ay have gone unnoticed by the healthcare provider such as in the case of a patient&rsquo\;s medical condition clouding the picture of an adverse dru g reaction. Or it was noticed\, but due to fear of blame\, the healthcare provider did not document the event in the record. How can you uncover the se scenarios if they are not in black and white?

Some practical resources attorneys can consult for information on medications (these are medical-related but written for the non-physician audience)

Bring your questions as we welcome Dr. Muller back to our Bar Associatio n. \; This seminar targets medical malpractice\, tort law\, personal i njury and pharmaceutical litigation practice areas.

After an almos t 20 year career leading the Poison Control Center at The children&rsquo\; s Hospital of Philadelphia\, which included consulting on toxicology cases from 21 counties in Pennsylvania and Delaware\, Dr. Muller is presently a n independent consultant who specializes in medical communications and pro viding expert witness testimony (trial testimony and reports for depositio ns/arbitrations hearings) on cases such as: alcohol or drug-related motor vehicle accidents\, carbon monoxide exposures\, chemical exposures (such a s occupational-related exposures)\, environmental issues (such as pesticid es\, herbicides)\, medication errors\, poisonings (accidental and intentio nal)\, and pharmaceutical product liability.

Wit h nearly 8\,000 species worldwide threatened by extinction\, many of these policies are being expanded and certain laws are becoming stricter. Exam ples include the recent federal limitations on the sale of ivory\, and the listing of the Northern Long-eared Bat (found in Pennsylvania) under the Endangered Species Act. As we saw with the killing of Cecil the lion\, is sues relating to these wildlife laws can be emotional and confusing for th ose involved. At this seminar you will learn how we know that a species is threatened\, and what that means for state\, federal\, and international laws. Items covered will be the Endangered Species Act\, the Lacey Act\, and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). You will learn how species are added or removed from these lists\, what th e penalties are for violating these regulations\, and get some clear examp les of recent violations of these laws. Ms. Altmann will also discuss why wildlife law matters for communities\, businesses\, and man health. Maris sa attended College of the Atlantic in scenic Bar Harbor\, Maine. While e arning a B.A. in Human Ecology\, Marissa focused her studies in the realms of the environmental and zoological sciences\, wildlife management\, envi ronmental law and policy\, and interdisciplinary methods. Marissa was fort unate enough to work with a variety of internationally-renowned institutio ns including Allied Whale\, the American Museum of Natural History\, and t he Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. In her last year of sch ool\, Marissa went to Thailand to serve as the first U.S. Youth Delegate t o the Convention on International Trade on Endangered species. Following c ollege\, Marissa worked as a seasonal bat technician with the Biodiversity Research Institute before taking a position as an Urban Parks Conservatio n Corps Fellow with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation. Marissa served as an Environmental Education Volunteer in the U.S. Peace Corps in Mexico Following her time in the Peace Corps\, Marissa was hired by the Northeast Regional Office of the National Parks conservation Associ ation (NPCA) to make recommendations in support of the biodiversity of Jam aica Bay\, New York City. In 2015\, Marissa worked as a Research Assistan t for Johannah Bernstein\, International Environmental Lawyer\, in Switzer land.

&ldquo\;Can I Sell This Ivory Necklace? and other questions:

An Introduction to Wildli fe Law and Policy&rdquo\;

Presented by: Ms. Marissa Altma nn

Tuesday\, October 4\, 2016

Wi ldlife law and policy encompasses a variety of state\, federal\, and inter national regulations related to animals in the wild and the trade and sale of their parts. \; With nearly 8\,000 species worldwide threatened by extinction\, many of these policies are being expanded and certain laws a re becoming stricter. \; Examples include the recent federal limitatio ns on the sale of ivory\, and the listing of the Northern Long-eared Bat ( found in Pennsylvania) under the Endangered Species Act. \; As we saw with the killing of Cecil the lion\, issues relating to these wildlife law s can be emotional and confusing for those involved.

At this semin ar you will learn how we know that a species is threatened\, and what that means for state\, federal\, and international laws. \; Items covered will be the Endangered Species Act\, the Lacey Act\, and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). \; You will learn how species are added or removed from these lists\, what the penalties are for violating these regulations\, and get some clear examples of recent v iolations of these laws. \; Ms. Altmann will also discuss why wildlife law matters for communities\, businesses\, and man health.

Mariss a attended College of the Atlantic in scenic Bar Harbor\, Maine. \; Wh ile earning a B.A. in Human Ecology\, Marissa focused her studies in the r ealms of the environmental and zoological sciences\, wildlife management\, environmental law and policy\, and interdisciplinary methods.

Mar issa was fortunate enough to work with a variety of internationally-renown ed institutions including Allied Whale\, the American Museum of Natural Hi story\, and the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. \;In h er last year of school\, Marissa went to Thailand to serve as the first U. S. Youth Delegate to the Convention on International Trade on Endangered s pecies.

Following college\, Marissa worked as a seasonal bat techn ician with the Biodiversity Research Institute before taking a position as an Urban Parks Conservation Corps Fellow with the New York City Departmen t of Parks and Recreation. \; Marissa served as an Environmental Educa tion Volunteer in the U.S. Peace Corps in Mexico

Following her tim e in the Peace Corps\, Marissa was hired by the Northeast Regional Office of the National Parks conservation Association (NPCA) to make recommendati ons in support of the biodiversity of Jamaica Bay\, New York City. \;
In 2015\, Marissa worked as a Research Assistant for Johannah Bern stein\, International Environmental Lawyer\, in Switzerland. \; She he lped Johanna to complete an evaluation of the UNEP Major Groups and Stakeh olders program\, and assisted on a variety of other initiatives spanning f rom solar batteries\, to verified conservation areas and mixed-use of a fo restry concession in the DRC\, to eco-tourism plans for a luxury resort in Nepal. \; From 2015 to 2016 Marissa also worked as a Research Assista nt to the Global Marine and Polar Programme of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)\, conducting background science and pol icy research for a blue carbon strategy for Indonesia.

Thursday\, December 1\, 2016 Youth court\, t een court\, and peer court are interchangeable terms for an alternative di sciplinary system for youth\, either in school or community settings\, who have committed an act that violates the norms of a school or the communit y. Youth courts train teenagers to serve as jurors\, judges and attorneys \, handling real-life cases involving their peers. The goal of youth cour t is to use positive peer pressure to ensure that young people who have co mmitted minor offenses pay back the school or larger community and receive the help they need to avoid further involvement in the school discipline or juvenile justice system. Youth courts hear a range of low-level offens es\; many handle cases that would otherwise wind up in Family Court or wit h school suspensions. Youth courts do more than provide an alternative di scipline procedure. Youth courts also provide an extension and applicatio n of learning for the students involved in the day to day operation of the courts. Youth courts appeal to students because they process real studen t disciplinary cases which allow them to participate and contribute to an improved climate. Youth courts not only can improve the performance of th e juvenile justice system\, they have enormous potential to educate youth court members about the justice system and develop academic\, citizenship and socialization tools. Youth courts have been shown to be effective in reducing recidivism among respondents in both school and community justice settings and reducing delinquency among the youth court members operating the court.

&ldquo\;Pro Bono beyond the Schoolhouse Gates &ndash\; Youth Courts and Breaking the

Sc hool to Prison Pipeline&rdquo\;

Presented by: David Treva skis\, Esq.

Thursday\, December 1\, 2016

\;Youth court\, teen court\, and peer court are interchangeable terms for an alternative disciplinary system for youth\, either in school or co mmunity settings\, who have committed an act that violates the norms of a school or the community.

\;Youth courts train teenagers to se rve as jurors\, judges and attorneys\, handling real-life cases involving their peers. \; The goal of youth court is to use positive peer pressu re to ensure that young people who have committed minor offenses pay back the school or larger community and receive the help they need to avoid fur ther involvement in the school discipline or juvenile justice system. \; Youth courts hear a range of low-level offenses\; many handle cases tha t would otherwise wind up in Family Court or with school suspensions.

\;Youth courts do more than provide an alternative discipline pro cedure. \; Youth courts also provide an extension and application of l earning for the students involved in the day to day operation of the court s. \; Youth courts appeal to students because they process real studen t disciplinary cases which allow them to participate and contribute to an improved climate. \; Youth courts not only can improve the performance of the juvenile justice system\, they have enormous potential to educate youth court members about the justice system and develop academic\, citize nship and socialization tools. \; Youth courts have been shown to be e ffective in reducing recidivism among respondents in both school and commu nity justice settings and reducing delinquency among the youth court membe rs operating the court. \; All young people involved\, whether respond ents or court members\, learn citizenship\, academic and socialization ski lls. \; Youth courts provide these benefits even for younger students.

\;A resolution of the Child Advocate Pro Bono Committee supp orting youth courts was unanimously passed by PBA Board of Governors and H ouse Delegates in May 2011. \; The resolution called for the PBA to &l dquo\;build on the call to the PBA of the Interbranch Commission on Juveni le Justice Report to develop programs that bridged civic education and juv enile justice by promoting a system of both school based and community/juv enile justice based youth courts across the Commonwealth which would expan d on the conflict resolution\, anti-bullying and law-related education mod el of the PBA&rsquo\;s Project PEACE.&rdquo\;

Ray Geiger will present “half” a review of the 2014 loca l real estate market and “half” discussing what attorneys should know abou t the new 2014-2015 USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Pra ctice) which took effect January 1\, 2014. Ray Geiger has been a real es tate appraiser since 1978\, specializing in the Lehigh Valley\, and extend ing throughout eastern Pennsylvania for selective assignments. Since 1989 \, his practice has been devoted primarily to non-lending institution appr aisal assignments that have covered the gamut of property types and legal issues and needs. He is a former president of the Allentown-Lehigh County Association of Realtors and Chairman of the Lehigh Valley Planning Commis sion. He has also served as a member of the Lehigh County Board of View s ince 1995. Known for his love-hate relationship with statistics\, and no t shy about speaking his mind\, Ray will take us back to where he left off last year with his data oriented presentation of the local real estate ma rket\; and as he has again conferred\, consulted and otherwise hob-nobbed with his “brother & sister wizards”\, he will venture into the future to f orecast what we may see until next year – including his observations on Al lentown’s Neighborhood Improvement Zone. As if that weren’t enough\, Ray also wants to update you on USPAP – the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. Is it any wonder it is often misunderstood and misqu oted when it changes every two years? Ray will demystify the regulations and highlight the most important recent changes to the 2014-2015 edition w hich took effect on January 1st. Ray guarantees that you will be both enl ightened and amused by his ramblings about what USPAP has wrought.

Double entendres are always lots of fun\, but in this instance our title merely refers to how we&rsquo \;ll spend our time together. \; Ray Geiger will present &ldquo\;half& rdquo\; a review of the 2014 local real estate market and &ldquo\;half&rdq uo\; discussing what attorneys should know about the new 2014-2015 USPAP ( Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice) which took effect Ja nuary 1\, 2014.
\n
\;
\n
Ray Geiger has been a real estate appraiser since 1978\, specializing in the Lehigh Valley\, and extending t hroughout eastern Pennsylvania for selective assignments. \; Since 198 9\, his practice has been devoted primarily to non-lending institution app raisal assignments that have covered the gamut of property types and legal issues and needs. \; He is a former president of the Allentown-Lehigh County Association of Realtors and Chairman of the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission. \; He has also served as a member of the Lehigh County Bo ard of View since 1995.
\n
\;
\n
Known for his love-hate re lationship with statistics\, and not shy about speaking his mind\, Ray wil l take us back to where he left off last year with his data oriented prese ntation of the local real estate market\; and as he has again conferred\, consulted and otherwise hob-nobbed with his &ldquo\;brother &\; sister wizards&rdquo\;\, he will venture into the future to forecast what we may see until next year &ndash\; including his observations on Allentown&rsquo \;s Neighborhood Improvement Zone.
\n
\;
\n
As if that were n&rsquo\;t enough\, Ray also wants to update you on USPAP &ndash\; the Uni form Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. \; Is it any wonder it is often misunderstood and misquoted when it changes every two years?& nbsp\; Ray will demystify the regulations and highlight the most important recent changes to the 2014-2015 edition which took effect on January 1st. \; Ray guarantees that you will be both enlightened and am used by his ramblings about what USPAP has wrought.

Guiteau (1841 – 1882)” Presented by: John Servis\, Esq . Wednesday\, August 6\, 2014 On July 2\, 1881\, 20th president James A. Garfield was at the Pennsylvania Railroad Station in Washington\, D.C. pr eparing to depart for his Williams College reunion. He was shot in the ba ck at close range by a preacher/lawyer from Illinois named Charles J. Guit eau. Eleven weeks later\, President Garfield died from multiple infection s caused by repeated exposure to non-sterilized instruments and doctors’ h ands. In most high school history texts\, Garfield has been relegated to little more than a footnote: “Shot by a disappointed office seeker.” Yet \, this summary misleads the reader. In this seminar we will examine the lives of both James Garfield and Charles Guiteau\, and the state of the Re publican Party in the post – Civil War era. We will discuss the applicabl e legal standards for an insanity defense and for fitness to stand trial. We will look at the progress of the trial in some detail\, with special e mphasis on Guiteau’s conduct that undermined the attorneys who were assign ed to represent him. Finally\, we will try to imagine what might have hap pened had Guiteau’s trial taken place in 1981 rather than 1881. Attorney John Servis is a solo practitioner in Orefield\, PA.

At this se minar\, frequent presenter\, Dr. Bomze\, will focus on his specialty\, Ped iatrics and share his experience in many types of cases. This course will be of interest to attorneys who focus their practice in the areas of medi cal malpractice\, family law (custody)\, criminal cases (child abuse)\, pe rsonal injury\, drug liability and product liability cases. Pediatricians have a unique knowledge and experience to assist attorneys in many aspect s of a case. Because they begin their care for babies prenatally and see children and adolescents through early adulthood\, they have an understand ing of complex and chronic illnesses. A Pediatrician will also have knowl edge and experience in all aspects of development and behavior of a child in addition to having relationships with the parents and families which ad ds another dimension in evaluating cases and providing particular insight on the issues of a case. As experts\, physicians can advise before a ca se is filed and consult and assist in all aspects of discovery\, interroga tories\, depositions\, expert reports and trial preparation and testimony. They can also evaluate and provide names of other experts who may be nee ded in a case. In addition\, they have unique access to medical literatur e in all medical areas and can provide relevant medical literature and com ment on the value of the medical literature used by the opposing attorney. Finally\, they understand EMRs\, risk management and the healthcare land scape\, which can be valuable in a case. Dr. Jeffrey Bomze\, M.D.\, F.A. A.P.\, is a board-certified pediatrician who practices pediatric and adole scent medicine at The Main Line Health Care office in Broomall\, PA. He h ad previously been in private practice for nearly 29 years. He manages in fants\, children and adolescents/young adults with a wide variety of medic al\, developmental and neonatal problems.

\n
Prese nted by: Jeffrey Bomze\, MD\, FAAP
\n
Tuesday\, April 21\ , 2015
\n
\;
\n
Physician Medical Experts can assist attorneys in all phases of legal cases from inception to trial and beyond. \; At this seminar\, frequent presenter\, Dr. Bomze\, will fo cus on his specialty\, Pediatrics and share his experience in many types o f cases. \; This course will be of interest to attorneys who focus the ir practice in the areas of medical malpractice\, family law (custody)\, c riminal cases (child abuse)\, personal injury\, drug liability and product liability cases. \; Pediatricians have a unique knowledge and experie nce to assist attorneys in many aspects of a case. \; Because they beg in their care for babies prenatally and see children and adolescents throu gh early adulthood\, they have an understanding of complex and chronic ill nesses. \;A Pediatrician will also have knowledge and experience in a ll aspects of development and behavior of a child in addition to having re lationships with the parents and families which adds another dimension in evaluating cases and providing particular insight on the issues of a case. \;
\n
\;
\n
As experts\, physicians can advise before a case is filed and consult and assist in all aspects of discovery\, inter rogatories\, depositions\, expert reports and trial preparation and testim ony. \; They can also evaluate and provide names of other experts who may be needed in a case. \; In addition\, they have unique access to m edical literature in all medical areas and can provide relevant medical li terature and comment on the value of the medical literature used by the op posing attorney. \; Finally\, they understand EMRs\, risk management a nd the healthcare landscape\, which can be valuable in a case.

The program is based on video clips based on a n actual “Boston Legal” episode: A professor was arrested for soliciting a prostitute. While he said he was just doing interviews of ladies of the night based on his specialty of Victorian erotica\, his lawyer asked “Do y ou always conduct your interviews in the nude? And the videotape you took shows you doing more than interviewing.” But in typical Boston Legal sty le\, the lawyers claimed the video was pornography\, protected by the firs t amendment\, and he was acquitted.

If so\, you are certainly not alone. Even though the Patient Pro tection and Affordable Care Act (the PPACA)\, often referred to as “Obamac are”\, was enacted in 2010\, many of us have waited to see which\, if any\ , of the law’s provisions would actually take effect. Most of those quest ions were answered when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law and Presiden t Obama was re-elected. While there are still questions as to how all of the provisions will be implemented\, it is very unlikely that any major ch anges to the law will be made and employers need to begin planning how the y will meet their new obligations under the Act.

Are you concerned about how the obligations imposed on employers by healt h care reform will affect your business? \; If so\, you are certainly not alone. \; Even though the Patient Protection and Affordable Care A ct (the PPACA)\, often referred to as &ldquo\;Obamacare&rdquo\;\, was enac ted in 2010\, many of us have waited to see which\, if any\, of the law&rs quo\;s provisions would actually take effect. \; Most of those questio ns were answered when the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law and President Obama was re-elected. \; While there are still questions as to how all of the provisions will be implemented\, it is very unlikely that any majo r changes to the law will be made and employers need to begin planning how they will meet their new obligations under the Act.

Friday\, A ugust 5 2016 As every lawyer familiar with Rule of Professional Responsibi lity 6.1 knows\, the term “pro bono\,” which is short for pro bono public\ , is a Latin term that means ‘for the public good.” Although the term is used in different contexts to mean “the offering of free services\,” it ha s a very specific meaning for us in the legal profession. Pro bono servic e enhances access to justice for the neediest among us. This session expl ores the ethics of pro bono\, starting with Rule 6.1. Chief Justice of Pen nsylvania Thomas G. Saylor\, in an April 2016 letter to Pennsylvania attor neys\, thanked the lawyers of the Commonwealth for their support of civil legal aid and asked each attorney voluntarily to do even more to support a ccess to justice. The leader of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court also showe d his support of legal aid by providing an introduction to each of ten pro bono videos which are now available for free viewing by pro bono lawyers. The videos\, produced by the Pennsylvania Bar Institute\, the PBA Pro Bo no Legal Services Office and the Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network\, allow pr o bono lawyers to receive free CLE while getting important training in var ious areas of the law. In his introduction to the videos\, the Chief said\ , “Every Pennsylvanian deserves their day in court\, even if their ability to pay for competent counsel is limited. For that reason\, this training program facilitates a valuable service for citizens that only lawyers can provide and that is consistent with our professional obligations. The PB I’s intent in creating this program is to assist you in representing a cli ent in a matter that may be outside your regular areas of practice. You a re urged to combine the experience and expertise of the speakers with your own background and skills to provide quality legal services to those who otherwise might go unrepresented.

&ldquo\;Doing Good the Right Way &ndash \; The Ethics of Pro Bono&rdquo\;

Presen ted by: David Keller Trevaskis\, Esq.

Friday\, August 5 2016

As every lawyer familiar with Rule of Profess ional Responsibility 6.1 knows\, the term &ldquo\;pro bono\,&rdquo\; which is short for pro bono public\, is a Latin term that means &lsquo \;for the public good.&rdquo\; \; Although the term is used in differe nt contexts to mean &ldquo\;the offering of free services\,&rdquo\; it has a very specific meaning for us in the legal profession. \; Pro bo no service enhances access to justice for the neediest among us. \; This session explores the ethics of pro bono\, starting with Rule 6.1.
Chief Justice of Pennsylvania Thomas G. Saylor\, in an April 2016 letter to Pennsylvania attorneys\, thanked the lawyers of the Commonwealth for their support of civil legal aid and asked each attorney voluntarily to do even more to support access to justice. \; The leader of the Pen nsylvania Supreme Court also showed his support of legal aid by providing an introduction to each of ten pro bono videos which are now available for free viewing by pro bono lawyers. \; The videos\, produced b y the Pennsylvania Bar Institute\, the PBA Pro Bono Legal Services Office and the Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network\, allow pro bono lawyers to receive free CLE while getting important training in various areas of the law.

In his introduction to the videos\, the Chief said\, &ldquo\;Every P ennsylvanian deserves their day in court\, even if their ability to pay fo r competent counsel is limited. \; For that reason\, this training pro gram facilitates a valuable service for citizens that only lawyers can pro vide and that is consistent with our professional obligations. \; The PBI&rsquo\;s intent in creating this program is to assist you in represent ing a client in a matter that may be outside your regular areas of practic e. \; You are urged to combine the experience and expertise of the spe akers with your own background and skills to provide quality legal service s to those who otherwise might go unrepresented. \; Your work is impor tant to those whom you will represent and\, more broadly\, in the fair adm inistration of justice. \; The hope is that your experience proves to be personally rewarding and that you will urge your colleagues to make the ir professional services available as well.

In 2007 the PBA resolv ed &ldquo\;that each PA attorney should comply with the local county or st ate bar association pro bono aspirational goal\, expectation and/or rule\, where the attorney&rsquo\;s practice is conducted.&rdquo\; \; Come ex plore how to do good the right way in this ethics presentation by PBA Pro Bono Coordinator\, David Trevaskis.

Quinn\, Esq. Many of you were attracted to the legal profession because you care about people and want to help them. Attorneys\, hopefully recognize that\, unlike many othe r professionals\, their lives are already filled with anxiety and stress. The consequences of shrugging it off can be catastrophic. One of those con sequences that we often hear about is burnout. And then there is a special type of burnout called “secondary traumatic stress” or “compassion fatigu e”. The ramifications of trauma and compassion fatigue aren’t discussed as frequently as those of stress and burnout thus\, for many attorneys\, the y are topics in need of attention. Secondary or vicarious trauma can be th e cumulative effect of listening to a client or witness relay graphic stor ies and experiences.

&ldquo\ ;Help for the Helper: The Effects of Trauma and Compassion Fatigue on the Lawyer Who Cares&rdquo\;

1 Ethics CLE Credit

Presented by: Brian S. Quinn\, Esq.

Many of you were attracted to the legal profession because you care about people and want to help them. Attorneys\, hopefully recognize that\, unlik e many other professionals\, their lives are already filled with anxiety a nd stress. The consequences of shrugging it off can be catastrophic. One o f those consequences that we often hear about is burnout.

And then there is a special type of burnout called &ldquo\;secondary traumatic str ess&rdquo\; or &ldquo\;compassion fatigue&rdquo\;. The ramifications of tr auma and compassion fatigue aren&rsquo\;t discussed as frequently as those of stress and burnout thus\, for many attorneys\, they are topics in need of attention.

Secondary or vicarious trauma can be the cumulative effect of listening to a client or witness relay graphic stories and expe riences. Those who experience compassion fatigue tend to take on the pain\ , suffering and burdens of the people they are helping. It is an exhaustio n that is felt physically\, emotionally and/or mentally and can affect num erous areas of your life\, often leaving you feeling numb.

Recent studies have shown that there has been a dramatic increase in impairment d ue to alcoholism\, addiction and mental health disorders among members of the legal profession. The statistics are compelling and clearly indicate t hat 1 out of 3 attorneys will likely have a need for substance use of ment al health services at some point in their careers.

Mr. Quinn will discuss:

The early warning signs of impairment\, with speci al emphasis on stress\, burnout\, trauma and compassion fatigue.

The free services that lawyer Assistance Programs provide to lawyers\, ju dges\, their family members and law students.

A close look at wh at barriers exist that prevent lawyers and judges from seeking the help th ey need.

The role that education plays in breaking the stigma an d fear associated with addiction and mental illness in the legal professio n.

How best to approach the impaired individual.

Quinn is a licensed attorney in Pennsylvania who curren tly serves as the Education and Outreach Coordinator for Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers of Pennsylvania\, Inc.\, a Lawyers Assistance program establi shed in 1988 for the purpose of helping lawyers\, judges and law students recover from alcoholism\, drug addiction and mental health disorders.

Many of us lear ned our civics lessons from a rolled-up piece of paper named Bill in a 70& rsquo\;s Saturday morning cartoon. Bill taught us about how legislation ne gotiates the process from introduction to enactment.

This half-day CLE digs in on the constitutional li mitations on legislation in PA\; negotiates the minefields of the General Operating Rules of state House and Senate while moving legislation through the General Assembly\; explores the ethical rules applicable to state leg islators and staff\; and\, provides &ldquo\;best practices\,&rdquo\; in ac hieving legislative goals

The lecture will include a limited discussion of No rthern Military Strategy\, the Chief Justice during this period\, Roger B. Taney (appointed on March 15\, 1836 and served until his death on October 12\, 1873) and other Justices. The cases include: Dred Scott vs. Sanf ord\, 60 U.S. 393 (1857). Scott having been a negro slave is not entitled to any of the privileges guaranteed by the United States Constitution. Ex parte Merryman\, 17 F. Cas. 144 (C.C.D. Md. 1861) order by Roger B. Tan ey\, Chief Justice. There is no ground for the President\, in any emergen cy or in any state of things to authorize the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas. Corpus. The Prize Cases\, 67 U.S. 635 (1863). Th e President had a right to institute a blockade of ports in possession of the States in rebellion\, which neutrals are to regard. Ex parte Valland igham\, 68 U.S. 243 (1863). The Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to hear an appeal from a military commission. Ex parte Milligan\, 71 U.S. 2 (18 66). Congress had power\, under the Constitution\, to provide for the org anization of a military commission\, and for trial by that commission of p ersons engaged in a conspiracy against the United States as in this case. However\, Congress did not so act and therefore as the civil courts were opened\, a military commission had no jurisdiction to try the Defendant. Attorney Donald H. Lipson\, a former member of Norris McLaughlin & Marcus \, P.A. and now retired\, engaged in the general practice of law in Lehigh County for over fifty years\, with substantial time devoted to civil liti gation\, municipal law and health care law.

This lecture shall review a different aspect of the War years. \; The struggle of the North to maintain for its citizens the rights guaranteed by the constitution while fighting an insurrection that threatened the saf ety and security of these citizens.

\;

The lecture wi ll include a limited discussion of Northern Military Strategy\, the Chief Justice during this period\, Roger B. Taney (appointed on March 15\, 1836 and served until his death on October 12\, 1873) and other Justices.

\;

The cases include:

\;

Dred Scott v s. Sanford\, 60 U.S. 393 (1857). \;Scott having been a negro slave is not entitled to any of the privileges guaranteed by the United States Con stitution.

\;

Ex parte Merryman\, 17 F. Cas. 144 (C.C .D. Md. 1861) order by Roger B. Taney\, Chief Justice. \; There is no ground for the President\, in any emergency or in any state of things to a uthorize the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas. Corpus.

\;

The Prize Cases\, 67 U.S. 635 (1863). \;The Pre sident had a right to institute a blockade of ports in possession of the S tates in rebellion\, which neutrals are to regard.

\;

Ex parte Vallandigham\, 68 U.S. 243 (1863). \; The Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to hear an appeal from a military commission.

&nbs p\;

Ex parte Milligan\, 71 U.S. 2 (1866). \;Congress had powe r\, under the Constitution\, to provide for the organization of a military commission\, and for trial by that commission of persons engaged in a con spiracy against the United States as in this case. \; However\, Congre ss did not so act and therefore as the civil courts were opened\, a milita ry commission had no jurisdiction to try the Defendant.

\;

Attorney Donald H. Lipson\, a former member of Norris McLaughlin &am p\; Marcus\, P.A. and now retired\, engaged in the general practice of law in Lehigh County for over fifty years\, with substantial time devoted to civil litigation\, municipal law and health care law. He served as Solicit or to the Borough of Fountain Hill\, Solicitor to Weisenberg Township\, an d as an Assistant Solicitor of Lehigh County assigned as general counsel t o Cedarbrook Nursing Homes.

&ldquo\; Eugene V. Debs (1855-1926): \;The First Person to Run for President from Prison&rdquo\;

1 Substantive CLE Credit
~~Presented by: John P. Servis\, Esq.~~

In the first two decades of the 20th century\, Eugene V. De bs was the face of socialism in America. \; In this seminar\, we will explore the life of Debs as a tireless leader of organized labor\, and a f ive-time candidate for the presidency (1900-1912\, 1920).

During t he 1920 election cycle\, Debs was a convicted felon incarcerated in the At lanta Federal Penitentiary. \; He nevertheless became the Socialist Pa rty&rsquo\;s nominee for president. \; We will look at the Sedition Ac t of 1918 under which Debs was convicted\, and his 1920 &ldquo\;front cell &rdquo\; campaign for office. \; In that campaign\, he used the new te chnology of the movie newsreel. \; The newsreel was beginning to becom e a standard feature in motion picture theaters across our nation.

John Servis is a solo practitioner in Orefield whose practice is limited to estate planning. \; He graduated from Cornell University in 1982 (B .A. Classics)\, from American University in 1985 (J.D.)\, and from Villano va University in 1995 (LLM Taxation). \; In 2010\, he received an M.A. in history from Lehigh University. \; John has presented more than 40 seminars at the Barristers&rsquo\; Club over the past 25 years. \; Jo hn has served on the board of trustees of the Lehigh County Historical Soc iety for 25 years. \; He lives in Orefield with his wife\, Moira O&rsq uo\;Connor-Servis.

This seminar will consider the constitutional is sues\, principles of law and the political and practical considerations of impeachment by reviewing the impeachment and trial of Andrew Johnson.

President Lincoln selected a new candidate for vice president in his bid for reelection in 1864. \; He apparently did so in an attempt to u nify the nation as the civil war was coming to an end and plans were being made for reconstruction after the war ended. \; His selection was And rew Johnson\, a southerner from Tennessee and a slave owner\, but one oppo sed to secession. \; He remained in the Senate after his state seceded . \; When the Northern army occupied Tennessee\, Johnson was appointed as Military Governor by President Lincoln.

Lincoln and Johnson we re sworn into office on March 4\, 1865. \; On April 14\, 1865\, Lincol n was assassinated\, and Johnson became President. \; No one expected this turn of events.

At the heart of the impeachment was the confl icting views of President Johnson and the leaders in Congress especially t he Radical Republicans who had long been opposed to slavery\, strongly bel ieved that this institution must be ended permanently and that the confede rate leaders must be punished. \; President Johnson did not share in t hese opinions and began to carry out his own policies.

On February 24\, 1868\, the House of Representatives resolved to impeach Andrew Johns on for high crimes and misdemeanors and referred the matter to the Senate. \; A full trial was conducted\, and final action was taken on May 26\ , 1868 by the Senate. \; The legal strategy\, the testimony of witness es and the arguments of counsel should be of interest even to modern day l awyers.

Attorney Donald H. Lipson\, a former member of Norris McLa ughlin &\; Marcus\, P.A. and now retired\, engaged in the general pract ice of law in Lehigh County for over fifty years\, with substantial time d evoted to civil litigation\, municipal law and health care law.

Skrmetti\, Attorney General of T ennessee. Prompting the controversy was the Tennessee legislature’s passa ge of Senate Bill 1\, a ban on gender-affirming medical care (GAC) for tra nsgender children with symptoms of gender dysphoria. Tennessee’s Governor Bill Lee signed the bill into law on March 2\, 2023. The goal of SB 1 was to require minor transgender children to persevere in their birth sex as male or female. The Biden administration joined the lawsuit on behalf of the Plaintiffs\, three transgender children\, their parents\, and a Memphi s physician. The Solicitor General of the Department of Justice (DOJ)\, E lizabeth Prelogar\, argued the Plaintiffs’ case at the Supreme Court\, alo ng with Chase B. Strangio\, New York\, N.Y.\, the first transgender male t o argue a case before the Supreme Court. Twenty-plus states already have similar bans in place and despite the arguments centered on consequences o f GAC\, and despite the arguments on the level of scrutiny to be applied i n the decision\, rational basis\, the lowest level of judicial scrutiny\, or intermediate or heightened scrutiny\, applied when cases involving sex are litigated. The medical status and consequences of GAC for minors\, inc luding puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones\, are in themselves incompl etely defined. What is known is that gender dysphoria leads transgender m inors who experience its effects to have anxiety\, depression\, suicide id eation\, and elevated risks of suicide. Much rests on the outcome of the Supreme Court’s decision which is expected by the end of June 2025.

Presented by: Kathleen Conn\, Ph.D.\, J. D.\, LLM

On December 4\, 2024\, the United States Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of United States v. Skrmetti\, Attorney General of Tennessee. \; Prompting the controversy was the Tennessee legislature&rsquo\;s passage of Senate Bill 1\, a ban on gen der-affirming medical care (GAC) for transgender children with symptoms of gender dysphoria. \; Tennessee&rsquo\;s Governor Bill Lee signed the bill into law on March 2\, 2023.

The goal of SB 1 was to require m inor transgender children to persevere in their birth sex as male or femal e. \; The Biden administration joined the lawsuit on behalf of the Pla intiffs\, three transgender children\, their parents\, and a Memphis physi cian. \; The Solicitor General of the Department of Justice (DOJ)\, El izabeth Prelogar\, argued the Plaintiffs&rsquo\; case at the Supreme Court \, along with Chase B. Strangio\, New York\, N.Y.\, the first transgender male to argue a case before the Supreme Court. \; Twenty-plus states a lready have similar bans in place and despite the arguments centered on co nsequences of GAC\, and despite the arguments on the level of scrutiny to be applied in the decision\, rational basis\, the lowest level of judicial scrutiny\, or intermediate or heightened scrutiny\, applied when cases in volving sex are litigated.

The medical status and consequences of GAC for minors\, including puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones\, are i n themselves incompletely defined. \; What is known is that gender dys phoria leads transgender minors who experience its effects to have anxiety \, depression\, suicide ideation\, and elevated risks of suicide. \; M uch rests on the outcome of the Supreme Court&rsquo\;s decision which is e xpected by the end of June 2025.

Kathleen Conn\, Ph.D.\, J.D.\, LL .M\, is Of Counsel at King\, Spry\, Herman\, Freund &\; Faul\, LLC in B ethlehem\, PA. \; She serves as the firm&rsquo\;s specialist in Educat ion Law\, Sexual Harassment\, and Title IX. \; She earned her Educatio n Leadership Certification from St. Joseph&rsquo\;s University\, LL.M (Cor porate Law and Finance) with honors from Widener University School of Law\ , and her J.D.\, cum laude from Widener University School of Law. \; Kathleen did her Post-Doctorate Fellowship at Lankenau Medical Res earch Center researching cancer metastasis.

The advancement of technology continues to evolve so rapidly that many lawyers are now suffering from what psychologists refer to as Technoshock. It can be paralyzing. Regardless\, you no longer have the option to avoid using state-of-the-art technologies in your practice. Nor can you ignore the impact new technologies will have on your clients. If you can’t get pa st your own real or perceived shortcomings\, then you must pay others to e nsure your compliance. This session will begin by defining artificial inte lligence (“AI”). It will highlight the presence of AI in your personal lif e\, along with risks and benefits. Next\, the session will identify the co mmon tools currently being used in law firms which incorporate AI. Benefit s to the firm and its clients will be part of that review\, including asso ciated risks. Finally\, some of the new emerging risks of AI being used by your clients will be discussed. A common fear of using AI is that it will eliminate jobs\, and perhaps profits as well. Studies have shown that AI will ultimately create more jobs than it eliminates\, improve profit margi ns for firms\, and lower costs to clients. It will also create new practic e opportunities with existing clients\, by ensuring that potential risks a re properly and proactively mitigated.

Thursday\, April 6\, 2023

&ldquo\;Artificial Intelligence in Our \;Lives and Law Practices&rdquo\;
~~1 Ethics CLE Credit~~

Presented by: Ellen Freedman\, CLM

Rule 1.1 (Competence) was amended to specifically require PA attorneys to keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice\, including the benef its and risks associated with relevant technology. The advancement of tech nology continues to evolve so rapidly that many lawyers are now suffering from what psychologists refer to as Technoshock. It can be paralyzing.

Regardless\, you no longer have the option to avoid using state-of-th e-art technologies in your practice. Nor can you ignore the impact new tec hnologies will have on your clients. If you can&rsquo\;t get past your own real or perceived shortcomings\, then you must pay others to ensure your compliance.

This session will begin by defining artificial intelli gence (&ldquo\;AI&rdquo\;). It will highlight the presence of AI in your p ersonal life\, along with risks and benefits. Next\, the session will iden tify the common tools currently being used in law firms which incorporate AI. Benefits to the firm and its clients will be part of that review\, inc luding associated risks. Finally\, some of the new emerging risks of AI be ing used by your clients will be discussed.

A common fear of using AI is that it will eliminate jobs\, and perhaps profits as well. Studies have shown that AI will ultimately create more jobs than it eliminates\, i mprove profit margins for firms\, and lower costs to clients. It will also create new practice opportunities with existing clients\, by ensuring tha t potential risks are properly and proactively mitigated.

Ellen Fr eedman serves as the Law Practice Management Coordinator for the Pennsylva nia Bar Association. In that capacity\, she assists PBA&rsquo\;s members w ith management issues and decisions on the business side of their practice \, including areas like technology\, bookkeeping procedures\, human resour ces\, risk management\, setting up a practice and so forth. PBA members ar e encouraged to contact Ellen through the 800 &ldquo\;Hot Line&rdquo\; at PBA headquarters\, (800.932.0311 Ext: 2228) or through e-mail (lawpractice@pabar.org).

Quinn\, Esq. In 2018\, the United States Supreme Court\, in Murp hy vs. NCAA\, held that sports gambling was legal in all of the United Sta tes. By 2019\, Pennsylvania had added online gambling accessible by cell phone\, computer and tablets\, thus becoming one of the country's largest gambling revenue-producing states. With it came the compulsive gambler. T hen the world seemed to stop with the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic. But the world of the compulsive gambler moved on to other forms of seeking “a ction” – via the internet.

Professor Randy Lee teaches Const itutional Law\, Professional Responsibility\, Torts and various writing an d advocacy courses at Widener University Commonwealth Law School. \; P rofessor Lee has taught previously at the Villanova and University of Pitt sburgh Law Schools and in the Harvard University Summer Program. \; Pr ofessor Lee is a frequent speaker for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute and h as also done programs for the Pennsylvania Office of General Counsel\, the Pennsylvania Attorney General&rsquo\;s Office\, and the Pennsylvania Hous e of Representatives.

Professor Lee has spoken at judicial confere nces for the Pennsylvania Commonwealth\, Common Pleas and Superior Courts. \; He served as the chair of the Association of American Law Schools Section of Professional Responsibility\, and also served as the chair of t he Law School Subcommittee of the Pennsylvania Bar Association Professiona lism Committee. \; In addition\, Professor Lee coordinates the Pennsyl vania Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers annual conference for the deans of stu dents of Pennsylvania&rsquo\;s Law Schools.

Recent studies have shown that there has been a dramatic increase in impairment due to alcoholism\, drug addiction and mental health disorders among membe rs of the legal profession. The statistics are compelling and clearly indi cate that 1 out of 3 attorneys will likely have a need for substance use o r mental health services at some point in their careers.

What abou t that &ldquo\;other&rdquo\; addiction &ndash\; Gambling?

In 2018\ , the United States Supreme Court\, in Murphy vs. NCAA\, held tha t sports gambling was legal in all of the United States. By 2019\, Pennsyl vania had added on-line gambling accessible by cell phone\, computer and t ablets\, thus becoming the second largest commercial gambling state outsid e of Nevada. With it came the compulsive gambler.

This program wil l explore not only Gambling Disorder\, but also the connection between gam bling and the more well -known forms of impairment and why lawyers are at higher risk to develop problems. This problem has only been exacerbated by the isolation caused by the Coronavirus crisis. The results are startling .

Mr. Quinn will discuss:

1. The early warning signs of im pairment and how they relate to gambling disorders. Special attention will be given to the connection between the Coronavirus and it&rsquo\;s impact on social isolation\, stress\, anxiety\, depression and gambling disorder s.

2. The free services that Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers provide s to lawyers\, judges\, their family members and law students.

A close look at what barriers exist that prevent lawyers and judges from seeking the help they need will be provided.

4. The role that education plays in breaking the stigma and fear associate d with addiction and mental illness in the legal profession.

5. Sp ecial emphasis will be placed on what callers to the LCL Confidential Help line can expect\, regardless of whether it is a self- referral or a reques t for intervention assistance.

Servis\, Esq. In its last term\, the U.S. Supreme Court decided two s eparate cases involving the intersection of religion and the state. In Car son vs. Makin\, a 6-3 majority of the Court invalidated a Maine tuition pr ogram\, holding that the state cannot bar religious schools from receiving public grants extended to other private schools. In Kennedy vs. Bremerton School District\, the same 6-3 Majority of the Court ruled in favor of a high school football coach who was fired after leading postgame prayers on the 50-yard line. Justice Gorsuch wrote that the coach’s prayers at the s chool event were protected by the First Amendment’s free speech and free e xercise of religion provisions. We will consider the majority and dissenti ng opinions in both cases and consider the impact of these cases on future practices by state and local decision makers in the area of public educat ion.

&ldquo\;Church and State: A Look at the \;Latest Supreme Court Decisions on

Sch ool Funding and School Prayer&rdquo\;

1 Substanti ve CLE Credit

Presented by: John P. Servis\, Esq.

In its last term\, the U.S. Supreme Court decided two se parate cases involving the intersection of religion and the state. In Carson vs. Makin\, a 6-3 majority of the Court invalidated a Maine tu ition program\, holding that the state cannot bar religious schools from r eceiving public grants extended to other private schools. In Kennedy v s. Bremerton School District\, the same 6-3 Majority of the Court rul ed in favor of a high school football coach who was fired after leading po stgame prayers on the 50-yard line. Justice Gorsuch wrote that the coach&r squo\;s prayers at the school event were protected by the First Amendment& rsquo\;s free speech and free exercise of religion provisions.

We will consider the majority and dissenting opinions in both cases and consi der the impact of these cases on future practices by state and local decis ion makers in the area of public education.
