Most attorneys do, but for CJA attorneys, using the proper paperwork is critical when reporting time. Most cases will require the use of CJA 20 worksheets. CJA 30 worksheets should only be used when reporting time expended for death penalty cases. Timely processing and payment of attorney vouchers depends on use of the correct forms, and CJA Administrator Teresa Harrison urges CJA counsel to train staff members in this area and to contact her with any questions or concerns before submittal. She notes that the category headings on the CJA worksheets correspond with the category headings on the CJA vouchers. When her office is contacted about how the worksheet categories and vouchers categories do not match, callers are often using incorrect worksheets. Put simply, if you are completing a CJA 20 voucher, use CJA 20 worksheets. If you are completing a CJA 30 voucher, use CJA 30 worksheets. Blank worksheets can be found in the CJA handbook on the Court's website by clicking here. For CJA questions or if you would like to receive fillable Excel format worksheets, contact Teresa at (816) 512-5066 or teresa_harrison@ The Second Chance Fund By virtue of the Second Chance Act which was passed by Congress on April 9, 2008, the U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services Office for WDMO has funding for new resources to provide services to more of its clients under supervision. The purpose of the Act was to reduce recidivism, rebuild ties between offenders and their families, protect the public and to assist offenders in establishing self-sustaining lives. Funding from the Act is now producing programs to achieve these goals. The Second Chance Fund allows us to now spend money for emergency and transitional services for all offenders under our supervision, said Chi King, Senior Probation Officer and Second Chance Fund Coordinator. King states that in the past, this type of monetary assistance was only available to offenders with mental health and/or drug dependency issues. Many offenders have no way to get to their programs or to their places of employment. With this new fund, the Probation and Pretrial Office can now provide such things as bus passes, emergency housing, vocational services, educational services and cognitive behavior treatment. While funding is always limited, King notes that guidelines and procedures are being developed to make the most of the funding that is available. The Second Chance Act and monies allocated under it will enable the local Probation and Pretrial Office to provide more tools for success to a larger number of clients. For more information about the Second Chance Fund, contact Chi King at chi_king@.

Bankruptcy Court Highlights Bankruptcy Litigation Pro Bono Program Enters the New Year The Pro Bono Program for Bankruptcy Litigation officially kicked off on Monday, October 19, 2009. This new program provides volunteer attorneys to pro se debtors or debtors with limited means who become involved in an adversary case. The program is only available in the Kansas City division of the Western District of Missouri to eligible debtors. Attorneys who are aware of debtors who may be eligible for this type of representation should feel free to refer them to the Pro Bono Program. "Notices have been sent out to potential applicants, but no referrals have been made via the project yet," reports Latricia Scott Adams, Director of the Volunteer Attorney Project. Organizers hope that increased awareness of the program will ultimately lead to connecting eligible debtors with volunteer attorneys who want to try cases. If any attorneys would like to volunteer, please contact Latricia Scott Adams at 816-421-8020 or lscott@. For other details on the program, visit the Court's website through the link Pro Bono Program. Remember also, pro bono forms are available at: #bankruptcy Rule/Form Changes REMINDER Among the many form changes that went into effect on December 1, 2009, the most notable is the requirement for a Cover Sheet for all Reaffirmation Agreements (Form B27).

Open Doors of Justice He Started Texting and Didn't Slow Down Counsel for Plaintiff: What happened then? Young: Well, Riley was cruising along when his cell phone rang. He looked at it and must have seen a text message because he said something like, Taylor is driving me crazy. He then started texting and didn't slow down or anything, and it was raining and at night, which was definitely not cool. It made me edgy. He later tossed the phone into my lap or dropped it right before the car crashed. Counsel for Plaintiff: Tell us what you remember about the accident. Young: It's kind of a fuzzy blur, but I remember we skidded, then slammed into a light pole in the Parkway median. The paramedics had to pry me out of the car. No, this isn't a portion of a transcript from the courtroom, but the fact pattern is topical. And it was played out this November in the courtrooms of the Western District in conjunction with the annual Open Doors of Justice program, a nationwide educational outreach activity. The courthouses in Kansas City and Springfield host area high school students who wish to learn more about the federal court. What better way for them to learn about what goes on in a courtroom than to jump right in and participate in a mock trial. U.S. District Judge Richard Dorr in Springfield and U.S. Magistrate Judge Robert Larsen in Kansas City lead their groups into action. Students were selected to fulfill roles of those who serve justice: a federal judge, a federal prosecutor, a federal public defender, a court clerk, etc In addition, the students also played the roles of plaintiff, defendant, witnesses and jurors. The students love coming to the courthouse. They learn so much and enjoy the interaction with the employees who work there, commented Shanna Hicks, teacher, Olathe East High School. The event in the Springfield office also included unique participants, such as Cindy the bomb-sniffing canine from the Fire Marshall's office, Greg Enyart of the Secret Service, Donald Higgerson from ATF and Kelly Palmer of the U.S. Marshal's Office. Students and court staff alike enjoyed the opportunity to share during the event and to remind each other about the risks of texting and driving. Clerk's Corner The Western District has had much to celebrate this past fall. In October, Judge Scott Wright celebrated thirty years on the federal bench. Not to be outdone by his colleague, Judge Howard F. Sachs also celebrated his thirtieth year on the bench, and both Judges joined friends and family at the Rockhill Country Club to commemorate the occasion. Three generations of the Sachs family were on hand for the festivities, and Judge Wright received a reminder that he'd been a Missouri Tiger even longer than he'd been a federal judge. In November, the Court marked another milestone as Bankruptcy Judge Arthur Federman hit his twenty year anniversary. Surrounded by his family and court colleagues, Judge Federman reminisced and enjoyed good food and story telling about his time on the bankruptcy bench. In his book tracing the history of the District, Professor Larry Larsen noted that individuals may come in contact with the federal court system only once in a lifetime, and their complete perception of the federal judiciary will therefore likely be based on a single contact with a single district judge. To know that on any given day, a citizen may have this most critical contact with Judge Wright, Judge Sachs or Judge Federman is to know that the perception of the federal judiciary is in good hands. Yes, the Western District has much to celebrate with the long and ongoing service of these judges as well as the outstanding AUSAs, federal public defenders and private practitioners that appear before the Court. May the holiday season remind us all to appreciate and preserve the professionalism and courteous practice exemplified in this District and less pervasive in other courts across the country. L to R - Former Courtroom Deputy, Carolyn Morrison; Former Law Clerk, The Honorable Joel F. May, 16th Circuit Court, Jackson County, Missouri; Judge Scott Wright. Judge Arthur B. Federman and Judicial Assistant Joan Brown Operation Breakthrough The Agency Operation Breakthrough is a unique nonprofit agency that provides an array of vital social services to inner-city children and their parents in Kansas City, Missouri. In the early 1970's, two nuns, Sister Berta Sailer and Sister Corita Bussanmas, who operated St. Vincent's Grade School, chose to help a distraught mother, who, at the time, was on the brink of losing custody of her children. Sisters Sailer and Bussanmas assisted this mother by taking her children into their home. As a result of the compassion, vision, and tireless efforts of Sisters Berta and Corita, and due also to substantial community support, Operation Breakthrough has expanded into a 64,000-square-foot child development center that serves more than 600 children daily. Operation Breakthrough is a United Way agency, and most of the families it serves live below the federal poverty line. Some of these families are homeless, and are in various transitional living situations. Some of the services provided by Operation Breakthrough are early childhood education, family assistance, medical and dental care and adult counseling for parents. Western District of Missouri's Involvement Over the past decade, Western District of Missouri court employees have developed a special relationship with Operation Breakthrough. Our court family has established an annual tradition of contributing Christmas gifts to needy families connected with Operation Breakthrough through Adopt-a-Family. For the past six years, our court family has also collected school supplies for children served by Operation Breakthrough. In the past year, the Probation and Pretrial Office has further expanded the court family's relationship with Operation Breakthrough by referring a high volume of offenders there to complete their assigned community service work hours. Offenders who are assigned to the agency for community service work normally complete general maintenance and cleaning duties. Such community service work serves two important purposes. First, it saves the agency the cost of having to pay staff or recruit other volunteers. Second, but of equal importance, when offenders perform community service work at a children-focused agency, it provides offenders an opportunity to give back to the community in a meaningful way, which benefits their reintegration into society. During the past year, offenders assigned to Operation Breakthrough have performed several hundreds of hours of community service. Periodically, offenders and probation officers work together on special projects at Operation Breakthrough. Recently, Senior Probation Officer/Community Service Specialist Sebastian Bonner partnered with offenders and assisted in the painting of classrooms at Operation Breakthrough. During the summer of 2009, Senior Probation Officers Chi King and Bonner assisted Operation Breakthrough in a special food distribution project targeted for inner-city children and their families. According to Debbie Skaggs, Volunteer Coordinator for Operation Breakthrough, having offenders perform community service at her facility has been of tremendous benefit. She emphasized, Operation Breakthrough is required by licensing and certification requirements to provide a clean, safe environment for children. With a building our size, keeping everything clean is quite the challenge. Without the offender program I am forced to recruit volunteers to help in this area. As we experience another holiday season and celebrate, among other things, the spirit of giving, it is a great time to reflect on how our court family has embodied that spirit with a special organization in the community, both during the holiday season, and throughout the year. Larsen Becomes Chief Magistrate Judge in 2010 On January 1, 2010, United States Magistrate Judge Robert Larsen will become the Chief United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Missouri as Judge Jim England's term in that role expires. Judge Larsen first took the bench in 1991 and was previously an Assistant United States Attorney. Among other things, the duties of the Chief Magistrate Judge include scheduling criminal cases that are set on the criminal trial docket. Judge Larsen looks forward to the challenge of the Chief Magistrate Judge position. If you have any questions for the new Chief, you may contact Carol Marullo in Judge Larsen's chambers at 816-512-5760 or carol_marullo@. MOJO Supports Juror Education State-wide The Missouri Jury Organization recently celebrated its first anniversary. Through several events in 2009, the Missouri Jury Organization or MOJO fulfilled its mission to support juror education and enhanced juror management practices. One such event occurred in April when MOJO helped to promote Jury Appreciation Week throughout the state of Missouri. The Missouri Bar provided posters and brochures to all court jury offices - federal and state - and the fledgling organization worked to coordinate distribution of materials and ideas about how to honor jury addition, the Missouri Jury Organization received a proclamation from Missouri Governor Jay Nixon recognizing Jury Appreciation Week. The Missouri Jury Organization is open to all interested in the jury process (state or federal) as well as: court personnel, attorneys and paralegals.
