August 27: The Record Officer’s Perspective on PRA for Litigation

The Public Records Act can be a valuable tool for litigators to obtain records from public agencies. However, there are fundamental differences between records requests pursuant to Chapter 42.56 RCW and the production of documents under the civil rules of discovery. These differences fundamentally impact which tasks these tools are best suited for. 
This seminar compares and contrasts these tools, reviews what practitioners can expect when requesting public agency records, and provides insights on navigating successful relationships with public records officers.

August 19, 23, 28+29: Breached! Cybersecurity 101

With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for attorneys to turn towards one reality—it’s NOT IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN. 
These incidents are forcing government agencies, companies, law firms, etc. to address, define, and handle these challenges. As cloud technology and big-data analytics have become the norm, cybersecurity risks have increased and it is more important than ever to have both an avoidance and a response plan in place. 
During this 60-minute CLE session, we will cover 
(1) the latest security threats in the news and what’s being done to address/remedy them, 
(2) explore current data breach laws, 
(3) the roles and responsibilities of government agencies, and 
(4) how to prepare a data breach avoidance plan as well as a data breach response plan. 
After completing this course, you will be able to: 
Know the latest cybersecurity threats the U.S. is facing; 
understand the different roles and responsibilities of various agencies; 
what the legal framework surrounding data breaches look like? 
How both government entities and companies across the globe have been impacted by cyber breaches;
How to prepare both a “data breach avoidance plan” as well as a “data breach response plan.”

September 30: Physicians Spreading Medical Misinformation: The Suitability of Regulation with Richard Saver

Physicians have played a surprisingly prominent role in the current “infodemic” of false and misleading medical claims. Disturbing examples include certain physicians publicly discrediting vaccination and others promoting ineffective Covid-19 treatments such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. 
Because they can “weaponize” their white coats, physicians pose especially potent dangers when spreading misinformation to the general public. As a result, there have been widespread calls for legal action, above all increased discipline by state medical boards. 
Richard Saver’s lecture will discuss the prevalence of physician-spread misinformation and the associated harms. Pushing back against the widespread criticism of medical boards for insufficient action, he will question the suitability of medical board oversight. Medical boards have unclear legal authority to regulate physicians’ communications outside a doctor-patient relationship for several reasons, including physicians’ First Amendment rights and limited statutory authority. Institutional design limitations, such as resource constraints and uptake procedures, also hinder medical boards ability to respond effectively. Moreover, because of the difficulty in defining medical misinformation with precision, serious risks arise of regulatory overreach. 
Saver will review data on recent disciplinary actions by medical boards and the policy implications. He will conclude with a brief discussion of regulatory alternatives to medical board oversight.

October 14: Equal Rights and Protections in Human Subjects Research – A Call to Action with Leslie E. Wolf

The COVID-19 pandemic provided a stark reminder of the critical role of biomedical research in saving human lives. But it also highlighted an urgent need for research that expands the evidence base in ways that reduce health disparities and promote equity. 
the inclusive research needed to achieve these goals may be hampered by the fact any efforts to achieve these goals are embedded in a system that treats research participants unequally. The federal regulations governing human subject research do not apply to all research, leaving some participants unprotected. In addition, because of variation in state laws, participants in the same study may have different rights and protections. Congress has the power to provide additional procedural and substantive research protections that would uniformly apply to all participants, and Wolf will provide some recommendations for changes Congress should consider.
