MNHTF Business & Education Meeting


Thursday, May 2nd, 2024 from 6:30pm-8:30pm

We are looking forward to hosting Carla Tourin from LegalWise.   

Carla Tourin is a Minnesota-licensed attorney who serves as the Executive Director of LegalWise, an educational nonprofit partnered with Mitchell Hamline School of Law in St. Paul, MN. 

LegalWise supports, educates, and inspires Mitchell Hamline graduates who are growing solo and small community law practices. Operating since 2013, first as the Bricker Lavik Community Law Firm, then as the Collaborative Community Law Initiative (CCLI), the program was originally a standalone non-profit organization housed in a brick-and-mortar building in the Twin Cities. In this early iteration, the program provided resources to graduates opening practices in the Twin Cities area, who were able to avail themselves of CCLI’s office space, in-person mentoring and networking opportunities, and interface with colleagues.

LegalWise attorney-advocates run their own law practices and provide services directly to their clients. They provide accessible legal services to underserved communities, including flat fees, sliding-scale fees, and unbundled services. Underserved communities, sometimes referred to as “legal deserts,” are those where legal services are not accessible to the people in that community. This may be due to financial constraints, lack of legal representation available in a particular region, or limited legal representation available in a certain practice area to certain groups of people.

The LegalWise attorney network is made up of Mitchell Hamline School of Law graduates around the country and is growing nationwide.

LIFECYCLE OF HOARDING: a view from a professional organizer

Diane Gambrel is a professional organizer, and owner of Smarter Spaces LLC. Diane works with clients who need extra time and patience to go through their belongings with goals of decluttering, organizing, and living with less stuff.

Many of her clients since 2011 have been dealing with ADD/ADHD, physical challenges, or hoarding.

Hoarding is a complicated condition that has many causes and evolves in multiple ways as clients learn skills and get the support they need.

Past Events Of The Minnesota Hoarding Task Force

 
The MN Hoarding Task Force has led or participated in a variety of events over the past several years. We have many volunteers who have generously donated their time and skills to community events including safety days, educational forums for community members and professional groups.  We have collaborated with groups like NAMI, The Elder Justice Center, first responders, Cities and Counties and more.  We have also enjoyed a fundraising-shredding event in our partnership with Shred Right for Good, Summit Investment Advisors, Professional Rehabilitation Consultants and Junk Masters. 
We look forward to many more ways to connect with and serve this community and welcome your ideas and partnership in the coming months and years.
