Program Description:
Your day begins with TWO tracks! One for attorneys who are new to the area of labor and employment, and one track if you have some experience under your belt. For the New Lawyer’s Track, learn what employment law state and federal statutes are key to your labor and employment law practice from two of the most experienced law professors in the State. Then enjoy a “how-to” workshop on client intake, complete with a YouTube video! On the Advanced Track, get up to speed on the aspects of representing clients in the marijuana industry: the ethics, the payroll, and other employment-related challenges. Finish the morning on the Advanced Track by discovering the nuances in the use of electronic evidence in an employment law case.
The second half of the program begins with a discussion of human resources policy traps, and gives an employee manual check-up. Also, get an update on the Federal Trade Secrets Act. The program concludes with a role play and fact pattern involving a human resources director who is unmanageable: she wears more than one hat, is unable to keep information confidential, and gets her organization in all kinds of trouble.
