Hear from the Hon. Congressman Scott Peters
Congressman Peters, representative for California's 50th district, will be discussing the Fair Housing Improvement Act of 2022 JUNE 23 2022 WASHINGTON, D.C. – "Today, U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, a former fair housing attorney, reintroduced the Fair Housing Improvement Act of 2022 to protect veterans and low-income families from housing discrimination. Companion legislation was introduced by Congressman Scott Peters in the House of Representatives. Current law allows landlords to deny housing to individuals based on source of income, and many veterans and low-income families have reported discrimination when using vouchers to pay their rent. The Fair Housing Improvement Act of 2022 would expand protections under the Fair Housing Act of 1968 to include banning discrimination based on source of income, giving more individuals and families access to affordable housing and a shot at economic mobility." |

Special Course for Attorneys-
Order in the Court: Ethical Interaction With Judges Lawyers have a duty to be zealous advocates for their clients. But when it comes to standing up to judges and their rulings, where is the line? Using lively examples and real cases as illustrations, this program will explore the ethical rules that govern a lawyer’s interaction with judges both in and out of the courtroom. It will also include an analysis of not only what lawyers can say to judges in the courtroom as well as in the court of public opinion, but also, what judges can ethically say to them. |
