OCTOBER, 2017

Dauphin County

Bar Association

We’ve made it to the final quarter of the year. Tough to believe that 2018 is just around the corner! Thanks to those who came out for the Fall Membership Meeting at the Civil War Museum. In addition to welcom-ing new members, we focused this meeting as usual on promoting pro bono service. Judge Lewis poignantly dis-cussed the benefits both to clients and attorneys who vol-

unteer. We were also pleased to witness David Trevaskis from the PBA present the PBA’s Jeffrey A. Ernico Award to Jim DeAngelo in recognition of his considerable leadership in pro bono service. Congrats again Jim! While we have many upcoming events in October, I wanted to focus on one activity in particular. On Wednesday, October 18, at 4:00, we’ll host a memorial service at the Courthouse for two recently departed members of the bar – Scott Calkins and Peter Ressler. A reception will follow in the Lawyer’s Lounge. This is a great way to honor our members who have passed, and to show support for relatives and colleagues at the ceremo-ny. I plan to attend, and I hope you will too. Enjoy fall!

SECRETARY OF STATE REMINDS PENNSYLVANIA NOTARIES OF NEW

EDUCATION REQUIREMENT

Harrisburg, PA – Secretary of State Pedro A. Cortés today reminded Pennsylvania notaries public that changes to the notary law include an education requirement for current as well as new notaries. “We want to ensure that all currently commissioned notaries know they must complete the education component before they apply to renew their commission,” Secretary Cortés said.

The Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts (RULONA) will go into effect on October 26, 2017. All current notaries who will be renewing a commission on or after that date must complete a 3-hour notary education course (PDF) within the six months before they apply for renewal. The requirement also applies to anyone seeking a new commission as a notary A certificate of course completion must be included with all applications for appointment or reappointment submitted on or after October 26. In addition, new notaries will be required to take and pass an examination before receiving their commission. Current notaries will not be subject to the examination requirement unless their commission has expired or lapsed. If a current notary’s commission expires for even one day, that notary will be required to take and pass the examination. The examination will be a computer-based test offered at Pearson VUE test centers in nearly all Pennsylvania counties. The cost is $65 per test. Notary applicants will have six months from the time they are authorized to sit for the exam to successfully pass the test. They may take the test as many times as needed. RULONA changes also include revisions to the list of authorized notarial powers, a redesigned notary stamp, updated requirements for the notary journal or register, and the option to keep the journal in an electronic format. Currently commissioned notaries may continue to use their current notary stamps and registers until their existing commission expires. A comprehensive list of changes (PDF) that will go into effect October 26 has been posted on the Department of State website. Or call 717-787-5280, option 2, for more information. The website also has a list of RULONA-compliant education providers (PDF). In addition, a notary may not use the Spanish word “notario” or phrase “notario público” to translate his or her title, unless he or she is a licensed attorney. This includes using these terms on signage in offices and businesses. This is based on Section 325(c) of RULONA:

§ 325. Prohibited acts. * * *

(c) Designation.-- (1) Except as set forth in paragraph (2), a notary public may not use the term "notario" or "notario publico." (2) Paragraph (1) does not apply to an attorney at law.

* * * The notary division of the department’s Bureau of Commissions, Elections, and Legislation commissions more than 80,000 notaries in Pennsylvania.

PRO BONO SERVICE

OPPORTUNITY FOR LAWYERS

NATIONWIDE TO HELP

HURRICANE VICTIMS

We know that many lawyers across the nation would like to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey. One way to help is to provide volunteer legal services through ABA/Texas Free Legal Answers. We have modified the ABA Free

Legal Answers system in Texas to permit out of state attorneys to volunteer to answer Harvey relat-ed questions, per an order issued by the Texas Supreme Court permitting such service. Information on how to do this is offered in the attached flyer. Training resources are provided. We would be grateful for your assistance in conveying this information to bar associations, law firms or attorneys interested in assisting Harvey victims. Additionally, the ABA has created a web page with information about Harvey relief, including how to volunteer, at https://www.americanbar.org/groups/committees/disaster/harvey.html#1. We recognize that Florida may face a similar situation, and are exploring doing the same with Flori-da Legal Answers in the event that Hurricane Irma causes substantial damage leading to the need for pro bono disaster legal services.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OLD BOOKS LYING AROUND?

Mette, Evans & Woodside have teamed up with the Retired Senior Volunteers of PA (RSVP) for a children’s book drive once again this year. They are collecting gently used or new books from children ages 4 to 12. The donated books will be distributed at after school, tutoring and pre-K programs in Dauphin and Cumberland counties to children who may not have books in their homes. So, if you have old children’s books lying around that you would like to donate, just stop by the DCBA between now and October 27th and place them in the box located outside Kendra’s office. If you have already donated, Thank you!

SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF

PROTECTIONS UNDER THE PA. "HATE CRIMES" LAW

THERE IS NO ROOM FOR INTOLERANCE IN PENNSYLVANIA.

PLEASE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY PUSHING FOR EXPANSION OF THE "HATE CRIMES" LAW.

Dear Colleagues: It is important for us as lawyers to take action to support the rule of law and condone hatred and bigotry. One important way is to advo-cate. I am writing to alert you to Senate Bill 96 and House Bill 505 that seek to expand the definition of ethnic intimidation and have been languishing in Harrisburg. A crime motivated by hatred toward these protected classes would be graded higher than specified un-der current law.

The Pennsylvania Ethnic Intimidation and Institutional Vandalism Act was amended in 2002 to add protections for ancestry, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity to those already in place for race, color, religion and national origin. But those amend-ments were overturned in 2007 on procedural grounds. Amendments have been proposed at vari-ous times since 2007, but they have languished without enough support to become law. Pennsylvania is the only state in the Northeastern United States that has a law that addresses hate or bias crimes, but which does not address sexual orientation, gender or gender identity. There is no more urgent time for that to change than now. With the recent display of hatred and bigotry in Charlottesville, Va., it is vital that we expand the definition of ethnic intimidation to pro-tect all or our our citizens and demonstrate that there is no place for intolerance in Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia Bar Association is speaking out on your behalf to support this proposed legisla-tions. In addition to our Association's efforts, I encourage you to contact your elected offi-cials. Please visit the Philadelphia Bar Association's Legislative Action Center, where you can personalize and send a letter directly to your senator and/or representative. I will continue to keep you updated on our progress. If you have any questions or feedback, please feel free to contact me at chancellor@philabar.org. Very truly yours,

Deborah R. Gross, Chancellor

OCTOBER PRO BONO MONTH –

EVERYONE DO SOMETHING! At the Fall Membership Meeting, President Judge Richard Lewis kicked off Pro Bono Month with a call to service. Judge Lewis reminded us that “no one can do everything but everyone can do something.” Thus, the 2017 Pro Bono Month Theme is:

Everyone Do Something!

Let us examine that brief call to action. Everyone – Every Dauphin County Bar Association member is to participate in pro bono. Eve-ryone means everyone.

From an unemployed lawyer bartending to make ends meet to a retired senior partner who has not worked in years.

From Law School Deans to Legal Services Executive Directors. Part-time employees and stay-at-home parents. In-house corporate counsel, professors, government employees, lobbyists, elected offi-

cials and courthouse staff.

All of the above professions can participate in pro bono - and have! Everyone - No excuses! Do – Pro bono service requires action. For the DCBA program, “pro bono” does not include serv-ing on a committee or attending meetings to talk about poverty and access to justice. Pro bono does not include teaching law students about civil rights or humanitarian violations. Talk is cheap – action is not. Something – Here the options are unlimited. One option is making a tax-deductible gift to legal services. The suggested amount is $300. However, a gift of any amount is greatly appreciated. Members who prefer donating can send a check to:

MidPenn Legal Services 213A North Front St. Harrisburg, PA 17101

or to any other legal services program. While talk is cheap, access to justice is not. As PBA Pro Bono Coordinator David K. Trevaksis explained when presenting the PBA Jeffrey A. Ernico Award to our own James P. DeAngelo, current U.S. government funding for civil legal services across the country is a meager sum that equals the amount we Americans spend annually for Halloween costumes — for our pets. While accepting the prestigious state-wide award, Jim DeAngelo emphasized that we prefer full funding for legal services because pro bono work alone can never fill the justice gap. While ac-knowledging the overwhelming need during his State of the Bar Association presentation, DCBA President Matthew M. Haar highlighted DCBA’s efforts to expand our pro bono options and the increase access to justice including

DCBA’s second Driver’s License Clinic on October 23 from Noon to 4 PM led by Immedi-ate Past President Edward F. Spreha Jr.;

DCBA’s quarterly Expungement Clinics adopted by his firm Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr

LLP; Our Lawyers for the Arts pro bono attorneys who provided real estate contracts for

Sprocket Mural Works’ ten new murals; and Discussions with Judge Lori K. Serratelli, the YWCA Domestic Violence Legal Center and

others to expand pro bono assistance in PFA matters. Further highlighting the unlimited pro bono options, President Judge Lewis urged DCBA mem-bers to offer pro bono legal services through

The ABA for hurricane victims at: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/committees/disaster/disaster_relief.html, or

Any other pro bono project including

Monthly Custody Clinics, Monthly Homeless Outreach, Wills for Heroes (e.g., at Grantville on Oct. 14), Guardian Monitoring, Custody Mentorship Program, Lawyers for the Arts, American Civil Liberties Union, Federal Bar Association - Middle District Chapter Pro Bono Program, Federal Court Pro Bono Mediation, Neighborhood Dispute Center, SeniorLAW Center's Pennsylvania SeniorLAW HelpLine, PBA’s Legal Assistance to Military Personnel, Federal Veterans Consortium Pro Bono Program, Pennsylvania Immigration Resource Center, HIAS Pa, The Education Law Center, or Any projects listed at www.ProBono.net

President Judge Lewis urged Everyone to Do Something for their pro bono legal services to help

Those in need - Inadequate funding means many of our most vulnerable citizens — the poor, elderly, single mothers and victims of domestic violence — do not receive desperately needed legal assistance.

The Court - Low-income litigants seeking to address legal needs on their own slows our ju-

dicial system and limits access to justice for everyone. Our Profession – Your pro bono service improves the legal profession’s image. Your Business - Pro bono services helps you create contacts in the community. Your Skills - Pro bono service allows you to develop skills and expertise. Yourself – You will feel good about yourself.

Finally, while President Jude Lewis applauded DCBA’s pro bono leadership, he also noted that we have room for improvement. Having roughly 400 members offering pro bono services valued at $418,635 last year is quite impressive. However, that number means that roughly 1,200 members are NOT providing pro bono service or at least not telling us about it. We need Everyone to Do Something! Therefore, if you are not sure that you are among the 400 who are doing something, please contact Sandy Ballard at 232-7536 ext. 7 or Sandy@dcba-pa.org to find out. Sandy will gladly find Everyone a way to Do Something! Sandy Ballard, DCBA Pro Bono Coordinator

GREETINGS FROM PIRC

As al-ways, PIRC will provide mentoring, substantive resources, and assistance finding volunteers for interpretation and translation. Please contact me if you are interested in helping any of the follow-ing clients If you would like to receive information about cases tailored to your specific interests, let's set up a time to talk. Sincerely, Christina L. Powers, Managing Attorney of Detained Programs Managing Attorney, Detained Representation (717) 600-8099 x205 cpowers@pirclaw.org

PROTECTION FROM PERSECUTION L.C. from Honduras

L.C just turned 18, and is an Evangelical Christian. Gang members threatened to kill him because he would not join them. L.C. preached on the streets and encouraged other teenagers to avoid gangs. L.C. had an attorney from another non-profit organization who has already prepared mate-rials in this case. Relief Sought: Asylum/ Withholding/Relief under the Convention of Torture Detention Status: Detained at York County Prison Next Hearing: Merits hearing June 15, 1pm (Possible to file for a continuance) Language: Spanish Anticipated Time Commitment: 50 hours Next Hearing: L.C. will be scheduled for his first hearing soon. The Court supports pro bono attorneys and can be flexible with scheduling.

TAKE ACTION

CT from Cuba

C.T. was a political activist who participated in several anti-government marches and demonstra-tions. As a result, he was beaten and detained multiple times, and imprisoned for two years. He fears the same or worse if he is forced to return. C.T. has been living in the United States since 2013, and does have some criminal convictions. Relief Sought: Asylum, Withholding of Removal, and relief under the Convention Against Torture Detention Status: Detained at York County Prison Language: Spanish Anticipated Time Commitment 50 hours Next Hearing: November 15th is the final hearing. The court wants to encourage pro bono representation and can work with an attorney to find a different date.

TAKE ACTION

LB from Hungary L.B. is a half Roma/half Hungarian woman who has suffered decades of persecution because of her ethnicity. Her brother was seriously beaten in one incident. Groups of skinheads have visited her house, destroyed her property and threatened her family. When L.B. went to the police, they only belittled her and said it was her fault. L.B. also has a gay adult son living in the United States who is afraid to return to Hungary. Relief Sought: Withholding of removal and relief under the Convention Against Torture Detention Status: Detained at York County Prison Language: Hungarian Anticipated Time Commitment: 50 hours Next Hearing: October 25, 2017 is her final hearing, but the Court supports pro bono and an attorney could seek a continuance.

TAKE ACTION

KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER

TR from Trinidad and Tobago

T.R. has been living in the United States since he was nine years old. All of his family is here. Although T.R. was convicted of carrying a firearm without a license, he was able to show the Immigration Judge that he deserves a second chance to live in the country he calls home. He did this without an attorney. Unfortunately, the government appealed this decision, and T.R. now needs assistance with the appeal. Language English Detention Status: Detained at York County Prison Anticipated Time Commitment: 20-30 hours Next Hearing: T.R.'s brief is due on October 10, 2017, but PIRC can assist with obtaining a three-week continuance, meaning the brief would be due on October 31, 2017.

TAKE ACTION

DUE PROCESS

DA from Cuba

D.A. is eligible to receive permanent residence status through the Cuban Adjustment Act (CAA). Immigration has detained him based on a minor criminal conviction. D.A. needs an advo-cate who can help him apply for his permanent resident status. Language(s) Spoken: Spanish Detention Status: Detained at York County Prison Anticipated Time Commitment: 40-50 hours Next Hearing: D.A. is not scheduled for a hearing yet, it should be in 1-2 weeks.

JIM DEANGELO HONORED

WITH PBA’S

JEFFREY A. ERNICO

AWARD The Pennsylvania Bar Association’s Legal Services to the Public Committee is pleased to honor Harris-burg lawyer James P. DeAngelo with its Jeffrey A. Ernico Award. Attorney DeAngelo is Chair of the Liti-gation Group at McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC in Harrisburg. He joined the firm as a business litigator in 1992 after his clerkship with the Pennsylvania Su-perior Court. A longtime champion of pro bono service, Attorney DeAngelo has served as Chair of the Dauphin County

Bar Association’s Public Service Committee since 1997. He also is a veteran member and past leader of the Pennsylva-nia Bar Association’s Legal Services to the Public Committee. He has served on the Boards and in leadership of significant legal aid programs, including:

the regional MidPenn Legal Services program, a non-profit, public-interest law firm dedicated to providing equal access to justice and high quality civil legal services to low-income residents and survivors of domestic violence in 18 counties in Central Pennsylvania;

the Community Justice Project, a statewide non-profit, legal aid law firm that fights for improvements to public benefits, increased access to affordable housing, better pay for workers, and many other issues; and

the statewide Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network, the umbrella organization for many of the legal aid programs in the Commonwealth.

"Jim is a truly deserving recipient of this award as he not only ‘talks the talk but walks the walk’ because no matter how busy he is in his private practice he always has time to support legal aid and handle cases pro bono,” MidPenn Legal Services Executive Director Rhodia Thomas said upon hearing of DeAngelo being honored. The Ernico Award celebrates the pro bono accomplishments of Harrisburg attorney Jeffrey A. Ernico and his long-standing commitment to equal justice and serving those who have nowhere else to turn. The Ernico Award is an occa-sional award of the PBA Legal Services to the Public Committee that is to be given to such individuals and groups as the committee, from time to time, determines have provided unique service that has resulted in significant improvement in the provision of legal services to the neediest among us. DeAngelo is the eleventh recipient of the Ernico Award since it was created in 2006. His award reads:

“A champion of justice for those in need, James P. DeAngelo has been dedicated to public service throughout his legal career. His outstanding community service through pro bono contributions works to balance the inequality for those without adequate access to justice.”

Jim Carroll, Elizabeth Price, Kathleen Smith, Cary Flitter, Michael Paul Malakoff , Kenneth Jewell, Jon McKenna, Debo-rah Freeman, Larry Young, and Carol Mills McCarthy are past recipients of the Ernico Award.
