TVPA (Trafficking Victims Protection Act) in Real Life: Understanding & Responding to Labor Trafficking Cases
August 27, 2025, 12:00 – 1:30 pm, Live Interactive Webinar, 1.5 General Credit Hours

Description: Although human trafficking has become a familiar topic, significant deficiencies remain in identifying and responding to labor trafficking. Unfamiliarity with these cases,
among other factors, limits our ability to connect with labor trafficking victims and direct them to available legal remedies. This also limits the scope of policies, procedures, and laws
directed at human trafficking broadly. There is a need for improvement and this presentation seeks to address that.
In doing so, this presentation will deconstruct the elements and nuances of labor trafficking cases. This will involve breaking down force, fraud, and coercion, with special attention to
coercion; establishing the line between those elements, traffickers’ actions, and labor; and presenting tools for real-life application of the labor trafficking framework set out by the TVPA.
The presentation will highlight barriers intertwined with many cases and will explore some of the legal remedies available to victims of trafficking. At the conclusion of the presentation,
attendees will have the opportunity to apply their knowledge to interactive case studies. Attendees should leave with an improved understanding of labor trafficking, how to identify and
respond to it in everyday cases, and legal remedies available to trafficked individuals.

Presenter: Rebecca J. Bundy, Esq., Advocating Opportunity, a Staff Attorney with Advocating Opportunity, specializing in immigration and expungements.

Improving Outcomes for Families: How Co-Parenting Apps Can Prevent Families From Returning to Court & Keep Them On Track For Success
September 11, 2025, Live Interactive Webinar, 1.0 General Credit Hour

The OurFamilyWizard app (OFW) is frequently included in parenting agreements as a way to reduce litigation and improve family outcomes. Learn how OFW can simplify co-parenting
communication, prevent coercive control, and streamline the work of practitioners. This training will also include our new updates and information regarding our new Calls feature.
Communication problems plague families in divorce or separation. While more of the correspondence is moving to email and texting, from the court’s perspective, these forms of
communication are often unreliable and easy to manipulate. In turn, court dockets are continually overloaded with custody cases coming back to court due to communication breakdowns,
often with insufficient evidence. This presentation will advise family law practitioners of communication technology ordered by the court in high-conflict custody and visitation cases.
Practitioners will learn how to stay informed of co-parent communication using online tools. Each attendee will receive examples of agreements and court orders currently used to specify
parent and practitioner use of OFW, as well as a full demonstration of the available features on OFW.
