Domestic Violence Torts, a training for lawyers
MCLE Credit: 1 hour
Alameda County Law Library
December 14, 2017, 12:00PM-1:00PM
Did you know that most lawyers aren’t aware of the California statute that creates a legal remedy for the tort of domestic violence? In an effort to change that, Alipato will host a series of presentations for lawyers of all practices. Our first presentation includes a brief history of DV torts and a primer on how to litigate them.
The presentation covers a wide range of legal issues including res judicata, California’s generous statute of limitations for DV resisters, and DV judgments in bankruptcy court. Check out the agenda here. Seats are still available. Please RSVP by e-mailing info@alipatoproject.org.
Legal Remedies for Rape Survivors, a presentation for rape crisis counselors
San Francisco Women Against Rape
October 10, 2017, 7:30PM-8:30PM
Did you know that 14%-25% of women are sexually assaulted by intimate partners?
That’s why it was a no-brainer for us to accept SFWAR’s invitation to present at one of their Counselor Training and Supervision meetings. Alipato’s presentation will cover the nexus between DV and sexual assault, and legal remedies for survivors. (SFWAR was founded in 1973 as a 20-hour per week rape crisis hotline. During the 80’s, SFWAR expanded its services to include a 24-hour hotline and in-person counseling and support groups. SFWAR has since evolved to become a significant part of the filed of social change practitioners who are integrating cultural competency, anti-violence, and anti-oppression political action in an effort to effect truly lasting social change.)

The San Quentin Restorative Justice Round Table Symposium is organized by men in prison and happens about four times a year.
