You are invited to volunteer for a Pro Bono Clinic with Maryland Legal Aid

Topic: Security deposit advice and assistance with pro se forms.
Clients: Low-income individuals and families
When: Fri. May 19, 2023, 9:30 AM – 12:00 PM. Training begins at 9:30 AM (1 hour) followed by scheduled 1 hour client meetings from 10:30 AM-12:00 PM.
Where: Virtual via Zoom.
Who: Maryland-barred attorneys and non-attorney professionals (non-attorney professionals will be paired with a Maryland-barred attorney).
Experience: None required.
Training: 1 hour live training followed by 1 hour of client consult time.
Support: Maryland Legal Aid attorneys will be available for questions during the client meetings.
Time: Limited, with no ongoing commitment.
Work: Meet virtually with a low income Maryland client to discuss options for return of a security deposit the client feels was improperly retained by a prior landlord. For many residents a security deposit can present a substantial barrier to their ability to obtain housing, particularly when they are living paycheck to paycheck. When a landlord improperly withholds a deposit it can create a significant hardship on the client and their family. Maryland has created a statute specific to security deposits that clearly articulates a landlord's responsibilities and provides tenants a recourse through small claims court. Often these matters can be resolved through a strongly worded demand letter or properly filed complaint. By helping tenants understand their rights and assisting with drafting a persuasive demand letter or small claims complaint you can have a significant impact on the client and their likelihood of obtaining a positive outcome.
Insurance: Provided by Maryland Legal Aid to all volunteers.

Note: If you are interested in participating but are not barred in Maryland, please contact Angus Derbyshire at ADerbyshire@mdlab.org for information on waiving into the Maryland Bar for purposes of providing pro bono services with MDLAB. MDLAB covers the fees and provides the paperwork. Please allow 30 days for this process.

SPOTLIGHT ON SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES

*can we reset supply chains to be more flexible; especially in times of emergencies?

*does the US need to increase its supply chain in drug manufacturing here in the US?

*how has legislation changed in the US post covid?

what is the regulation and compliance policy perspective now?

*how do we view globalization now?



The pressure supply chains have been under for the last few years shows no sign of ending. Issues such as spiraling utilities costs, global shortages of key materials, exchange rate fluctuations and the application of sanctions have reinforced the critical importance of supply chain management and how integral supply chains are to the strategy, performance and reputation of global businesses.

“The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.”

Sun Tzu, Art of War

The Florida Rules of Civil Procedure aim “to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding.”  For the corporate defendant, the difficulty of obtaining summary judgment in Florida state courts seemed anathema to that goal.  However, two years ago the Florida Supreme Court amended its summary judgment standard to conform with the Federal standard. 

This presentation will address the strategic use of the amended summary judgment standard as a weapon by corporate defendants to achieve “the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination” of lawsuits filed in Florida state courts. 

RSVP by 4/17 and please inform the host if you have any food allergies.

We request that if you are feeling ill, receive a positive COVID-19 test, or have been exposed to COVID-19 within ten days, that you not attend for the safety of others.
