August 23, 26+30: Navigating the New Town Square: Cultivating Competency in Basic Online Legal Research

 “The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow.” -- Bill Gates.

The growth in the amount of information available and the many different platforms on which to obtain it impact the way attorneys practice law. It also brings forth more issues and new laws that your clients may face.

The many ways technology can aid attorneys in locating the best and most on-point statutes, caselaw, secondary materials and all relevant materials can be overwhelming. As the comments to the model rules of professional conduct state, to maintain competency a lawyer should keep abreast of the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology.
The goal of this free online continuing legal education program is to assist attorneys in navigating online legal research, so they are more confident and competent when researching subjects important to their work.

August 24: Allocation of Responsibility in Subrogation Claims

Sometimes responsibility for an insurance claim for property damage or injury is straight forward and there is no question about who or what is responsible; like when a driver hits a parked car. But often there IS a question! And if there is, we have a process for analyzing the claim, figuring out who should be involved, allocating responsibility, and packaging claims against those responsible parties. The analysis often includes a combination of indisputable "science" and the "art" of applying professional judgment or expert opinions.
This program is for everyone who needs to understand how the responsibility for property and injury claims should be distributed to the responsible parties. The program is for construction, insurance, legal, and property professionals; particularly those who regularly deal with property and injury claims.

The decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization created many difficult questions for employers.

• Can an employee seeking an abortion take leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)?
• Are employees entitled to accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) because they seek or have an abortion?
• What are the risks of providing medical insurance coverage of abortions or travel reimbursement to employees seeking abortions?
• How do employers reconcile the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) with seemingly conflicting state criminal and insurance laws?

As legal professionals advise their clients on these controversial issues, they must understand the legal landscape and remain vigilant of the fast-paced federal and state legislative actions that impact their clients.

August 16: Cell Phones Are the New DNA: The Emerging Role of Mobile Device Forensics in Wrongful Conviction Exonerations

New evidence produced from testing using new, innovative technology can open the door to judicial action for wrongful conviction review and exonerations. For decades DNA testing was the most popular and effective example of new technology. Now mobile device forensics is emerging as an effective alternative to watch, or even the most promising form of new evidence, because of its speed of technology innovation and adoption, also its support of a diversified number of proof vectors as compared to DNA. This presentation will compare and contrast mobile with DNA evidence, focus on effectively using mobile device forensics to recover new evidence in wrongful conviction challenges, and highlight opportunities to leverage mobile device forensics during the post-appeal time window to recover new evidence to qualify for reduced standards of proof.

November 15: Leveraging Technology to Prepare Briefs with Greater Efficiency and Accuracy

This course focuses on the importance of accuracy and efficiency in the review and preparation of briefs and motions. In particular, it stresses an attorney’s duty of competence, which includes an obligation to accurately cite and quote legal authorities in the briefs presented to the courts, as well as the duty to cite only valid legal authorities and to disclose adverse authorities. Additionally, it addresses the duty lawyers owe to their clients to work as efficiently as possible in the preparation of briefs and motions, which includes a concomitant obligation to leverage available technologies to assist in performing these tasks. Ultimately, the course illuminates the legal technologies currently available to assist lawyers with reviewing and preparing briefs accurately and efficiently.
Topics of Discussion: 

I. Explanation of the relevant ABA model rules requiring attorneys to keep abreast of legal technology to assist in servicing clients
II. Retrieving and reviewing cited authorities more efficiently with legal technology, e.g., LMO’s “get cited docs”
III. Validating citations more accurately and efficiently with legal technology, e.g, LMO’s “check cite format”
IV. Preparing and updating tables of authorities more efficiently with legal technology, e.g., LMO’s “prepare TOA”
V. Validating quotes more accurately and efficiently with legal technology, e.g, LMO’s “check quotes”
VI. Researching concepts from an opponent’s brief more efficiently with legal technology, e.g., LMO’s “find precedent”
VII. Gathering intelligence efficiently regarding companies, law firms, judges and other entities in an opposing brief using legal technology, e.g., LMO’s “find” tool

August 17: HR Essentials – Let’s Talk About Sex and Other Harassment in the Workplace

The spotlight on conduct in the workplace continues to shape public opinion, which in turn influences the best practices employers follow and the policies they implement. Partially in response to these changes, but also independently paralleling them, several legal developments have occurred in the past few years that amount to a continuing shift in the legal landscape surrounding sex and other forms of harassment. Recent and continuing developments include expansion of the definition of gender, additional requirements for harassment policies, and the establishment of mandatory topics that must be covered in training for both supervisors and rank and file employees. Join Cozen O’Connor attorneys for a discussion of these legal developments and the best practices employers must follow to reduce the legal risks these new legal developments present.
For experienced human resources professionals, this webinar will be a practical refresher. For less experienced human resources professionals, this webinar will provide an introduction and real–world advice regarding sex and other harassment essentials. This webinar continues our 2022 California Employment Law Essentials series for HR Professionals. Be on the lookout for details about this series in the months ahead. Future webinars in 2022 will include compliance with and best practices for California employers for discrimination, retaliation, disabilities, leaves of absence, and classification issues, including nonexempt and exempt employees.

August 10: Mandatory Arbitration Clauses in California: To Have or Not to Have, That is the Question

Every year seems to bring a new take on mandatory arbitration provisions in employment agreements, and this year is not disappointing. From the recent U.S. Supreme Court’s “Viking River Cruises” decision to the “Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act,” which was signed into law this year, more change is undoubtedly on the horizon. Plus, the future of California’s ban on arbitration, AB 51, is still uncertain. There is a lot to consider and much to discuss. Join us on August 10 for an update on arbitration clauses and what to expect before the end of the year.
