Join us for a free CLE offered in connection with our Institute for Journalists that is presented in cooperation with the Idaho Press Club, Idaho Attorneys for Civic Education, University of Idaho College of Law, and Idaho’s state and federal courts.

This CLE will consider how parents’ rights have shaped some legislative proposals across the U.S. in recent years, involving issues ranging from library books, school bathrooms, gender identity, and access to gender-affirming medical treatment. How do courts weigh the rights of parents, minors, and the state? What legal precedents apply? The panel discussion will consider the key cases and constitutional provisions and explore the rights of parents, the rights of minors, and the place where they intersect with government interests. As part of the discussion, our panelists will touch on a variety of topics, including parental rights in the context of domestic relations, child protection, parental termination, adoption, and the Indian Child Welfare Act.

Panelists:

Howard Belodoff, Associate Director of Idaho Legal Aid Services, Inc.

Rebecca Boone, Supervisory Correspondent, Associated Press of Idaho

Hon. Jessica Lorello, Judge, Idaho Court of Appeals

Daniel Skinner, General Counsel, Boise School District
