Join CHP on May 15 at 1pm for a webinar that will provide a general overview of what cash transfers are, how they work, their impact and how effective they are, and the tools and actions needed to expand and advance cash transfer programs on the local, state, and national levels. Advocates will learn what Congress and some states and communities are doing to make cash transfers a reality, challenges advocates face in this effort, and important considerations for young people when participating in cash transfer programs (including the tax consequences of cash transfers and impact on existing public benefits). Most importantly, speakers will discuss how they engage people with lived experience in advancing cash assistance programs across the country. https://lnkd.in/dvQ6Gedr

Legal Challenge: Gaza Lawsuit Questions U.S. Human Rights Stance Judge Jeffrey S. White acknowledged the plausibility of genocide claims but dismissed the case on jurisdictional grounds, invoking the political question doctrine. This dismissal was contested due to potential judicial bias involving Judge Ryan Nelson. During the June 10, 2024, oral arguments, plaintiffs' attorney Katherine Gallagher emphasized the importance of judicial review for legality in foreign policy decisions. The government argued that military aid decisions are political and beyond judicial competence. The hearing concluded with a rally where human rights activists and plaintiffs highlighted the case's urgency and the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The court’s decision is anticipated in the coming months, with plaintiffs seeking accountability and adherence to international law.

Critical Supreme Court Rulings: Impact on Public Safety and Legal Norms June brings a series of critical #SupremeCourt rulings that could redefine U.S. legal and social frameworks. From the Rahimi case, which challenges current gun possession laws, to Idaho v.

Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED)'s latest #US Crisis Monitor Report offers an in-depth look at these issues, examining how each ruling could spur public demonstrations and shift legal norms.

Changing the rules of the game will prohibit the ability of research universities to find licensees and bring the capital that is necessary for further research and development of those technologies."

DC Refers is excited to share that we have been awarded a $15,000 American Bar Endowment (ABE) Opportunity Grant. The ABE Opportunity Grant Program supports new, boots-on-the-ground, innovative programs and projects that serve the immediate and critical legal needs of the public and are of importance to the legal profession and its concerns for access to justice. The grant will support DC Refers in developing an innovative large language model search for our existing open-source lawyer referral request portal. In 2023, DC Refers received 736 requests for DC lawyer referrals through this portal. Each request involved the requester selecting their specific need from a list of legal issue areas. If a requester selected anything other than the actual practice area associated with the underlying legal need, they may have been connected with a lawyer lacking the appropriate expertise to assist them. Here, both the potential client and lawyer the referral was made to lose out. With the ABE’s generous support, DC Refers will build a responsible AI large language model search feature for the existing request portal to enable requestors unsure of the specific assistance needed, or area of law implicated, to receive appropriate referrals from the lawyer directory. Requesters will be able to search for lawyers using plain language, based on their non-legal understanding of the issue they are facing. The elevated request portal will further enhance access to legal services for modest means persons in DC. DC Refers will also share the open-source technology with legal service providers elsewhere to enable them to make legal services more accessible to underserved populations on a larger scale, further amplifying the benefits of this grant.
