October 1: Mental Health and Substance Use in the Legal Profession and the Practice of Law

This course is designed to educate attorneys to identify, understand, and to from the legal profession and from the practice of law biases against persons because of disabilities related to mental and chemical health issues. Powerful stigmas remain attached to both chemical health and mental health related disabilities, and the ABA study clearly shows that barriers to seeking help included “not wanting others to find out they needed help” and “concerns regarding privacy or confidentiality.” Because of those stigmas, discrimination occurs both to impaired lawyers and by lawyers toward impaired clients and potential clients. By educating attorneys about the misconceptions surrounding chemical health and mental health issues, they will be better positioned to eliminate barriers to hiring, retentions, professional development, and full participation of attorneys disabled by chemical or mental health issues. They will also be less likely to discriminate against their clients or potential clients with chemical dependency or mental health related disabilities.

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 23: Class Action Issues Ripe for Review: Some Current Circuit Splits

The Supreme Court hasn’t taken many cases regarding the interpretation of FRCP 23 lately. As a result, there are a number of important issues percolating in federal courts that have resulted in splits among the federal Circuit Courts.
Until SCOTUS rules on these issues, in other words, it matters profoundly where some class actions are filed. Examples of the issues impacted include fundamentals of class definition, such as how to determine if a class is “ascertainable.”
This webinar will look at some of the most important circuit splits and discuss how they impact litigants. Panelists will highlight relevant petitions before the court and trends in class action jurisprudence.
