ACC SoCal will partner with Elder Law and Disability Rights Center at CHOC to assist parents of individuals with developmental disabilities to obtain a limited conservatorship so they can retain some of the decision-making rights even if their child is over 18 years old.
No prior experience necessary: ACC members will be provided with a short on-demand training video that they can view on their own time before the clinic (MCLE credits pending). They will then be assigned a family and review the packet submitted by the family. At CHOC, members will assist the family in completing the limited conservatorship forms for e-filing. Optional: if you want to assist the family after the clinic through their entire court process, you can sign onto the case with Elder Law and Disability Rights Center as pro bono counsel.
Breakfast pastries, coffee, and bottled water will be provided. Please bring a laptop or iPad to the clinic and wear your ACC-SoCal shirt (if you don’t yet have an ACC-SoCal shirt, they can be provided).
Sponsor: ACC Southern California Pro Bono Committee

Protecting trade secrets and confidential information is critical at every stage of the employment cycle. Companies can reduce legal risk by implementing strong policies and procedures when onboarding employees from competitors, and safeguard against potential losses by taking proactive measures during offboarding.
This webinar will focus on legal and practical solutions for both the onboarding and offboarding of employees as it relates to trade secrets and confidential information.
