The first federal execution since 2003 is schedule for July 13, 2020, with three additional executions following just days later. U.S. Attorney General William Barr has scheduled these executions despite pending litigation in these cases and serious concerns about the legality, constitutionality, and humaneness of federal execution protocols. Join the American Constitution Society for a discussion of the federal death penalty, the reasons for the nearly twenty-year moratorium on federal executions, and the concerns over this quick succession of executions planned for this summer in the face of continued criticism that the death penalty is arbitrary, racially biased, and plagued by poor, under-resourced lawyering.  Remarks By: Gary Tyler, Former Death Row Inmate, Outreach and Engagement Support Worker, Safe Place for Youth Featuring: Miriam Gohara, Clinical Associate Professor of Law, Yale Law School Megan McCracken, Eighth Amendment Resource Counsel, Lethal Injection Project of the Death Penalty Clinic, U.C.

Sponsored by The American Constitution Society

Join the ACS Bay Area Lawyer Chapter for a discussion of a joint Notice of Proposed Rulemaking from the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice that would substantially revise the process for applying for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection from torture under the Convention Against Torture.

Employee Assistance Programs - July 30, 2020

THRIVE VIDEO WEBCAST: Understanding the CRUCIAL Intersection of EAPs, Insurance and Access to Care

Sponsored by Corporate Counsel Business Journal

Employee Assistance Programs serve a vital role in protecting and retaining human capital. Well-being needs are matched and met through the ability to apply knowledge of people, behavior, behavioral health to the workplace. The insurance offered is the differentiator between access to care that is needed versus sub-par treatment. To ensure the best outcome for both employer and employee it is imperative that the providers are well coordinated with the EAP.

• Understanding Your Insurance Plan’ s Behavioral Health Placement Criteria and Provider Network
• Consultation with all levels of management and support services
• Private problem identification/assessment services
• Constructive confrontation, motivation, referral and follow-up
• How to negotiate decision-making when the time comes to seek treatment
• The mechanics of getting a person into treatment
• Different industries and different roles within workplaces – may have different safety, professional and fiduciary standards and obligations
• Return To Work (RTW) protocols will vary by profession, firm/company role, culture and individual needs
• Professional Accountability – engaging with providers to coordinate reporting and paperwork
• EAP program and insurance purchases should be tailored to these differences and should consider networks of providers for those plans
