Civil legal aid began as a response to urgent need. Over time, it has evolved into a cornerstone of our access to justice infrastructure. This session will examine the political and social context in which civil legal aid was founded, examine its measurable impact on low-income communities, and consider how legal aid has shaped both legal and social service systems in Connecticut and across the country. Panelists will reflect on the legal profession’s progress, identify persistent structural gaps, and discuss how the evolution of civil legal aid informs today’s conversations about equity, institutional design, and the legal profession’s responsibility in promoting and advancing justice.

This seminar is the last installment of a three-installment professional-development program designed for attorneys who write or edit – which is to say, for nearly all attorneys. It moves beyond standard legal-writing tips to address the entire lifecycle of a legal document, from strategic pre-writing and persuasive organization to the careful use of AI-powered drafting and editing tools. Participants will be part of a masterclass in ensuring clarity and impact in all their written communication, developing efficient and adaptable workflows, and smoothing out the often-contentious review-and-revision process that takes place before hitting “Send.” Join writing coach and former attorney Rick Horowitz for a lively and practical session that will reintroduce you to your legal-writing toolbox, including a few tools you didn't know were in there.

Law firm owners are increasingly exposed to aggressive tax strategies marketed as “planning,” yet many do not fully understand where legitimate tax minimization ends and tax fraud or abusive schemes begin. This program provides a practical, risk-aware overview of tax fraud concepts and the IRS’s annual “Dirty Dozen,” with a focus on strategies that commonly impact high-income professionals and law firm owners. Attendees will learn how to distinguish defensible tax planning from improper or abusive arrangements, identify common red flags used by tax promoters, and understand the potential financial, legal, and ethical consequences of getting it wrong. The program emphasizes judgment, decision-making, and risk management to help participants evaluate tax advice more effectively before taking action.
