Program Description:
 
In December, it will be cold outside, so you will want to attend this program where the topics are hot, hot, hot! Whether it’s seeking outside counsel, pretrial motions that are unique to employment law cases, or the latest updates to the National Origin Discrimination and Retaliation Guidance, the CLE classroom is heating up on December 2 to give you the latest information on employment litigation.
 
We will also know by December who will lead our nation as President of the United States. Who becomes POTUS will have a great influence on the next U.S. Supreme Court Justice and the future of Supreme Court jurisprudence. Listen to this insightful discussion on predictions of key U.S. Supreme Court employment law decisions once our new President has been elected.
 
The practice of law has never been busier. Listen to Jay Tiftickjian’s insights to get some sanity from the myriad of demands that practicing law makes on us. One of these many demands is implicit bias in the courtroom and on your juries. Join the discussion on how to overcome these prejudices in your employment law cases.
 
A highlight of the day will be the panel presentation on managing high-profile cases in the press! Join reporters from all of the major networks, who will give you the information you need to have when you get a case that’s in the news.
