Eliminating Bias in the Legal Profession - October 13, 2023

Eliminating Bias in the Legal Profession

Sponsored by LexisNexis 

The goal of this CLE presentation is to discuss bias and where it comes from; why it is harmful; how to detect it and how to eliminate it from our behavior as legal professionals. Practicing law is a bias landmine. From whether we believe a witness or opposing counsel; to how we counsel those in our organization we readily apply judgments to others — coloring our perceptions and thoughts. 

There is no cure for bias, but you can be more mindful, conscious and monitor your thoughts better.

False Claims Act Enforcement - October 19, 2023

False Claims Act Enforcement: Exploring Recent Trends and Developments

Sponsored by The Knowledge Group 

The False Claims Act (FCA) is a powerful fraud prevention tool for the government. The heightened crackdown and stringent statutory penalties and damages signal serious risks for companies with business transactions with the government. Failure to comply with regulations can lead to high stake mishaps such as reputational harm and debarment from government programs on top of financial liabilities. As aggressive FCA enforcement is here to stay, prudent businesses engaged with the government should map an effective defense and compliance program to avoid legal liabilities and hefty fines.

Marijuana in the Workplace: An Update and a Look Forward

Sponsored by LexisNexis 

23 states and the District of Columbia have legalized marijuana in some form and a few more have decriminalized it. Four of these states and DC have legalized marijuana for recreational use as well as medical use. However, marijuana remains illegal under federal law and employers, regardless of whether or not marijuana is legal, likely will not want their employees using it at work.

Please join this class for an overview of current marijuana laws, trends in the medical industry, and insight into how changing times will likely impact our current, drug-free workplaces.
