Appealing to the Board of Immigration Appeals

This course, presented by immigration attorney Maris Liss, covers the nuts and bolts of how to appeal to the BIA, standards of review, brief-writing tips, and motions to the Board. After taking this course, you will understand the basics of BIA appeals and understand the standard and burden of proof. You will learn pro-tips for brief-writing as well.

Speaker:
Maris J. Liss heads the appellate litigation practice at George P. Mann and Associates, a boutique immigration firm in Farmington Hills, Michigan.

You and #MeToo - On Demand

You and #MeToo

Sponsored by Bloomberg Law

After being fed in its infancy by media coverage, the #MeToo movement is now consuming media companies of all sizes, with nearly daily reports of sexual harassment charges. The media industry is hardly unique in that regard, but the impact can be greater in media, where the target of a complaint may not only be a public face of the company, but one of its principal products as well. What might be a simple employment action for other businesses can be akin to shutting down a product line for a media company.
Regardless, it is guaranteed to be a high-profile, carefully scrutinized process that is part crisis management, part employment law, and part public relations. For all involved, it can be handled well…or poorly, exposing the company to liability from complainants, accused employees, and shareholders.

Responding to Regulatory Agencies - On Demand

Seven Steps to Effective Regulatory Response 

Sponsored by Zapproved
Although the material does not specifically mention CLEs, one of the presenters is senior counsel at Dentons, which is California pre-approved MCLE provider no. 2773
Learn the seven steps to effective regulatory response and be prepared to respond quickly to ensure compliance.
Regulatory agencies such as the SEC and CFTC can initiate an investigation into business activity at any time, bringing challenges beyond those of typical ediscovery. Regulatory investigations often relate to unclear charges, make broad and sweeping data requests under unrealistically tight timelines, and bear severe consequences for noncompliance. Organizations need to be prepared to identify, preserve, and analyze relevant information rapidly and accurately.
In this webinar, Zapproved will discuss seven clear, actionable steps to launch a successful regulatory response. These steps start with strategizing and preserving data before moving into assessing information, negotiating the terms of the request, creating privilege logs, and keeping the lines of communication open.
Any organization subject to regulatory oversight could be investigated at any time. Prepare today so you can face tomorrow with confidence
