DESCRIPTION:When: Tuesday\, June 26\, 2018 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at the
Social Law Library\, Boston\, MA Program Fee: $25 CPCS approved for 2.0 h
ours of credit from the Adult Criminal Trial\, CAFL\, Mental Health\, YAD
juvenile delinquency\, YO and Post-Conviction panels. \nDetermining legis
lative intent is a critical component whenever interpreting Massachusetts
statutory law\, especially when a statute is ambiguous and susceptible to
various interpretations\, does not adequately address a particular issue\,
or when there appear to be drafting errors. \nIn these and other instance
s\, the legislature&rsquo\;s intent must be inferred from the statute&rsqu
o\;s legislative history\, which successful advocates must stitch together
from a variety of sources including\, but not limited to: \n&bull\; The t
ext of the bill and proposed amendments that were accepted or rejected\n&b
ull\; Reports of Legislative Committees and other House and Senate documen
ts\, as well as speeches or floor debates prior to the bill&rsquo\;s passa
ge\n&bull\; Executive Branch messages and related statements that might sh
ed light on the legislative intent \nSJC Chief Staff Counsel\, Neal Quenze
r and the Social Law Library&rsquo\;s Senior Reference Librarian\, Brian H
arkins\, will show &ldquo\;how&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;where&rdquo\; to find a
nd interpret these and other sources from which legislative intent can be
deduced. The program will feature both traditional hard copy and new onlin
e resoources. \nSuccessful advocacy often depends on using the research sk
ills that this program will teach to reconstruct a statute&rsquo\;s legisl
ative history\, and artfully arguing for the correct legislative intent in
pleadings\, briefs\, and oral argument. Online registration is encourage
d. For assistance\, questions on group discounts\, accommodations requests
