Nita City Housing Authority served Donna Johnson with an eviction notice months after her grandson was rounded up in a group arrest of persons suspected of gang drug activity. Roy was never charged, though, and Donna believes that the housing authority is evicting her in retaliation for demonstrations she orchestrated to protest her landlord’s inaction on fire safety. Donna formed a tenant action committee requesting that fire sprinklers be installed in the building, and led protests when the housing authority ignored the committee’s demands. Disabled and without the resources to find new housing for herself, her two grandchildren, and her great-grandchild, Donna is not giving up without a fight. This compact case file presents compelling witnesses and colorful exhibits. It can be tried with expert witnesses for a fuller experience, or the expert reports can be accepted by stipulation. The file also includes a component that looks at issues of conscious and unconscious bias and how attorneys should deal with such issues at trial. New to the Third Edition: Enhanced discussion of potential areas of bias counsel should address when presenting the case Additional exhibits, including text messages Revised timeframe of events to make the case file easier to understand and manage Professors and students will benefit from: A complex landlord/tenant file with issues of retaliation A structure that requires analysis on both the law and issues of bias A shorter case file that can be tried with or without expert witnesses Analysis on whether federal requirements regarding eviction for drug or other criminal activity trigger eviction without a charge A broad range of exhibits

Trial Advocacy for the Child Welfare Lawyer: Telling the Story of the Family was a first of its kind publication and gave lawyers working in child welfare court their first real trial skills book five years ago. Thousands of lawyers became more proficient at trial work because of that seminal publication. Now, the Juvenile Law Society (JLS) has made it even better with Trial Advocacy for the Child Welfare Lawyer: Telling the Story of the Family, Second Edition, by Marvin Ventrell and Patrick Furman. Trials, effectively presented, are stories—stories of mothers, fathers, children—stories of the family. Trial Advocacy for the Child Welfare Lawyer, Second Edition teaches you how to present the story of the family from the unique and powerful perspective of each litigant. From nuts and bolts to advanced practice techniques, each trial skill is treated as a mechanism of persuasion. For the Second Edition, JLS Founder and Director Marvin Ventrell teamed up with his long-time trial skills training partner and highly regarded teacher and trial lawyer, Patrick Furman as co-author. Ventrell and Furman expand the nine essential trial skills of the first edition and have added a new chapter on The Child Witness. From case analysis to opening statement, to witness exam to evidentiary foundations, to objections, to closing argument and professionalism and ethics, Trial Advocacy for the Child Welfare Lawyer, Second Edition prepares the lawyer for children, parents, and state agencies to go to court. Reviews The Juvenile Law Society [JLS] has made a profound contribution to the field of child welfare law with this succinct and practical book. It really should be required reading for all lawyers appearing in child welfare court. It is an artful blending of the essentials of trial advocacy with the particulars of child welfare court. This book will empower attorneys to provide improved advocacy for children, parents, and agencies . . . and that, in turn, will lead to better judicial outcomes for our most vulnerable children and their families. —Jennifer L. Renne, Esq., Director, Capacity Building Center for Courts, American Bar Association
