2022 Workers' Compensation Spring Update Out of Stock
Co sponsored by the Colorado Bar Association Workers' Compensation Section
Quantity
Spring is here, and it’s time to catch up on the last six months of action in the Workers’ Compensation world. Along with our usual case law update, we’ll feature tips from pre-hearing judges, look at Medicare set aside rules, and everything you wanted to know about shoulders from a medical and legal perspective. Combine that with one professional responsibility credit and a chance to see your colleagues in person? Makes it a can’t miss event.
- Medical and legal discussion of shoulders
- OARC attorneys discuss your ethical duties
- How to present your case to a pre-hearing judge
Home studies will be available approximately 2-3 weeks following the live program.
For your own safety, the safety of others, and in an effort to provide everyone with the most rewarding in-person meeting and event experiences possible, we request that you attend this event only if you have been fully vaccinated. All attendees must wear masks for indoor events unless attendees can maintain a distance of six feet from each other, in which case masks may be removed. Masks may also be removed by an attendee, briefly, when they are speaking, eating, or drinking.
Depending on CDC and/or state or local health guidelines, a rise in COVID-19 cases, or other circumstances that may threaten the well-being of our attendees, CBA-CLE reserves the right to convert to a fully virtual event.
If disability accommodations or special assistance are needed, please contact us at [email protected]. Requests must be made at least two weeks prior to the scheduled program.
The program will be submitted for CLE accreditation in Colorado. If you need to seek accreditation in another state, please review the process and requirements for that individual state. CBA-CLE staff can provide a Uniform Certificate of Attendance, and it is the attendee’s responsibility to complete the accreditation outside of Colorado.
